Abstract(s)
O panorama demográfico nacional evidencia um forte envelhecimento da
população, com um número crescente de pessoas com 65 ou mais anos a residir em
Estruturas Residenciais para Idosos (ERPI) e com um consequente aumento da
necessidade de cuidadores formais nestas instituições. A literatura evidencia que a falta
de competências dos cuidadores formais em ERPI traduz-se na qualidade dos cuidados
prestados com efeitos diretos na segurança do residente.
Neste sentido, foi desenvolvido este projeto de intervenção comunitária, cujo
objetivo foi capacitar os cuidadores formais em ERPI, na área de abrangência da Unidade
de Cuidados na Comunidade Lumiar +, para o cuidar em segurança.
Este projeto de intervenção comunitária, dirigido aos cuidadores formais, teve por
base a metodologia do Planeamento em Saúde e a Teoria dos Sistemas de Betty Neuman.
A elaboração do diagnóstico de situação de saúde partiu de um questionário elaborado
pela investigadora tendo como ponto de partida os relatórios das auditorias realizadas
pela Unidade de Saúde Pública e os achados da Scoping Review, que permitiu identificar
as necessidades formativas dos cuidadores formais. Da análise dos dados que emergiram
do diagnóstico de situação e de acordo com o referencial teórico foram elaborados
diagnósticos de enfermagem com base na identificação de stressores que ameaçam o
equilíbrio do sistema cuidadores formais.
Foram desenvolvidas estratégias de intervenção: educação para a saúde e
comunicação em saúde, que permitiram a capacitação dos cuidadores formais nas áreas:
“Atuar em Acidente” e “Rede de frio”. Foi realizada a avaliação das mesmas através dos
indicadores de resultado verificando-se que todas as metas propostas foram atingidas,
conclui-se assim ter existido um contributo muito positivo para a capacitação dos
cuidadores formais.
The national demographic landscape highlights a significant aging of the population, with an increasing number of people aged 65 and older residing in Elderly Residential Care Facilities (ERCFs), leading to a consequent rise in the need for formal caregivers in these institutions. The literature indicates that the lack of skills among formal caregivers in ERCFs translates into the quality of care provided, directly affecting resident safety. In this regard, this community intervention project was developed, aiming to empower formal caregivers in ERCFs within the catchment area of the Lumiar + Community Care Unit to provide safe care. This community intervention project, aimed at formal caregivers, was based on the Health Planning methodology and Betty Neuman's Systems Theory. The development of the health situation diagnosis began with a questionnaire prepared by the researcher, based on reports from audits conducted by the Public Health Unit and findings from the Scoping Review, which identified the training needs of formal caregivers. From the analysis of the data emerging from the situational diagnosis and in accordance with the theoretical framework, nursing diagnoses were formulated based on the identification of stressors threatening the balance of the formal caregivers' system. Intervention strategies were developed: health education and health communication, which enabled the empowerment of formal caregivers in the areas of "Action in Accidents" and "Cold Chain." Their evaluation was conducted through outcome indicators, confirming that all proposed goals were achieved, thus indicating a very positive contribution to the empowerment of formal caregivers.
