Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento da população, tanto em Portugal como no mundo, tem
levado a um aumento significativo de famílias nucleares idosas que vivem sozinhas,
dando origem à necessidade dos idosos cuidarem de idosos.
Neste contexto, o Enfermeiro de Família desempenha um papel fundamental
ao intervir nas famílias, na promoção da sua autonomia, independência e
capacitação para uma transição saudável. Devido a pressões sociais e familiares, o
idoso assume o papel de cuidador do cônjuge, enfrentando um processo complexo
e multidimensional. A responsabilidade da gestão dos cuidados ao cônjuge interfere
na qualidade de vida do idoso e pode resultar em sobrecarga física e emocional.
Na maioria das vezes, as intervenções de enfermagem, focam-se apenas na
doença do cônjuge dependente, negligenciando as dificuldades do cuidador idoso.
O enfermeiro de família, devido à sua proximidade, atua como elo entre a família e
os serviços de saúde/comunidade, oferecendo intervenções especializadas e
adequadas para minimizar dúvidas/problemas comuns, incluindo a capacitação
para aumentar o conhecimento, e por consequência promover uma transição
saudável dos cuidadores familiares.
Este projeto de intervenção em enfermagem, englobado no âmbito do 1º
Curso de Mestrado em Enfermagem Comunitária na área de Enfermagem de Saúde
Familiar, da Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa (ESEL), segue a metodologia
de projeto, e propõe capacitar os idosos cuidadores, através de intervenções
direcionadas às suas dificuldades, de forma a melhorar a sua qualidade de vida e
promover o bem-estar do casal idoso.
The aging population, both in Portugal and worldwide, has led to a significant increase in elderly nuclear families living alone, giving rise to the need for the elderly to care for the elderly. In this context, the Family Nurse plays a fundamental role in intervening with families to promote their autonomy, independence, and empowerment for a healthy transition. Due to social and familial pressures, the elderly assume the role of caregiver for their spouse, facing a complex and multidimensional process. The responsibility of managing care for the spouse affects the elderly person's quality of life and can result in physical and emotional burden. Most of the time, nursing interventions focus solely on the illness of the dependent spouse, neglecting the challenges of the elderly caregiver. The family nurse, due to their proximity, serves as a link between the family and health/community services, offering specialized and appropriate interventions to minimize common doubts/problems, including empowerment to increase knowledge, and consequently promoting a healthy transition for family caregivers. This nursing intervention project, encompassed within the Master's in Community Nursing in the specialization area of Family Health Nursing at the Lisbon School of Nursing (ESEL), follows a project methodology and aims to empower elderly caregivers through interventions targeted at their difficulties, in order to improve their quality of life and promote the well-being of the elderly couple.
