Abstract(s)
Objectives: To describe the meaning attributed to the experiences of the clinical experience of specialist nurses in the implementation
of nursing care focuses and respective interventions that promote the autonomy of the elderly.
Method: Qualitative study based on Giorgi’s method. Eighteen specialist nurses were interviewed, recruited for convenience in two
hospitals in the northern region of Portugal, between March and December 2018.
Results: In the clinical experience of specialist nurses, regarding the nursing process, three themes emerged: focuses of nursing care;
implementation of nursing interventions and hindering factors.
Conclusions: The specialist nurses, most of whom are rehabilitation specialists, essentially promote the physical capacity of the
elderly, within the scope of autonomy, revealing that working conditions, such as lack of time and information systems, are the
limiting factor of their promotion.
