Abstract(s)
O crescente aumento da esperança de vida e consequente aumento da população
idosa nos países desenvolvidos e a prevalência de doenças cronicas não
transmissíveis, tem vindo a aumentar o número de idosos com a sua autonomia
comprometida. A estes fatores, acresce a alteração da dinâmica familiar, sendo
fundamental que haja profissionais que sejam capazes de dar resposta às
necessidades destes indivíduos/famílias. Mas estes profissionais, na sua maioria, não
têm formação previa para cuidar de idosos ou têm-na insuficiente necessitando de
capacitação.
O enfermeiro especialista em saúde comunitária tem como competências especificas,
entre outras, contribuir para o processo de capacitação de grupos e comunidades.
Através da aplicação da metodologia do Planeamento em Saúde, desenvolvemos o
projeto “Capacitação dos Cuidadores Formais do Serviço de Apoio Domiciliário: um
projeto de intervenção comunitária" com o objetivo de capacitar as cuidadoras formais,
do Serviço de Apoio Domiciliário das quatro Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade
Social do concelho do Barreiro, que prestam cuidados a idosos dependentes em
contexto domiciliário, no tema cuidados ao utente na mobilização, posicionamento e
transferência.
A amostra constituiu-se de 58 participantes femininas que através da aplicação direta
de um questionário identificaram as suas necessidades de formação.
Foram realizadas sessões de educação para a saúde a 100% das participantes e após
avaliação dos resultados da intervenção, constatou-se que estas conseguiram
identificar: três complicações da imobilidade e a sequência de passos na transferência
(100%); a mecânica corporal para prevenir lesões músculo-esqueléticas das
cuidadoras (98,28%); e a finalidade do posicionamento (96,55%).
The growing increase in life expectancy and the consequent increase in the elderly population in developed countries and the prevalence of chronic non-transmitable diseases has been increasing the number of elderly people with their autonomy compromised. In addition to these factors, there is a change in family dynamics, and it is essential that there are professionals who are able to respond to the needs of these individuals/families. But these professionals, for the most part, do not have prior training in taking care of the elderly or have insufficient training, requiring capacitation. Nurses specializing in community health have the specific competences, among others, of contributing to the process of capacitation groups and communities. Through the application of the Health Planning methodology, the project "Capacitation of Formal Caregivers of the Home Support Service: a community intervention project" was developed, with the objective of capacitating formal caregivers of the Home Support Service of the four Private Solidarity Institutions in Barreiro council, which provide care for dependent elderly people in the home context, in the theme of user care in mobilization, positioning and transfer. The sample consisted of 58 female participants who, through the direct application of a questionnaire, identified their training needs. Health education sessions were held for 100% of the participants and after evaluating the results of the intervention, it was found that they were able to identify: three complications of immobility and the sequence of steps in the transfer (100%); body mechanics to prevent musculoskeletal injuries of caregivers (98.28%); and the purpose of the positioning (96.55%).
