Abstract(s)
The assessment of the dependent person’s
self-care ability, through measurement
instruments, and the assessment
of the level and kind of dependency,
may provide nurses a more assertive
method for understand the nature of
the problems that affect dependency
and for establish an action plan tailored
to the development of new practices
centered on the dependent person,
looking forward to promote autonomy.
Within this context, and in order to
develop nursing practice in self-care
dependency context, this paper serves
the goal of the characterization of
dependent people in self-care in a
community context and the analysis
of the different domains of self-care
according to sociodemographic and
clinical variables. It was used the
non-probabilistic sampling method, of
the accidental type and for data collection
was used the reduced version of
the Self-Care Dependency Assessment
Form.
The results found show that women
and the elderly are more dependent,
and that the dependence settles
mainly gradually. Regarding the level of
dependence by self-care domain, the
one that registered the highest level
of dependence was self-care “taking
medication”, followed by “dressing and undressing” and self-care “taking a
bath”. The “global level of dependence”
has an average of 2.64 and a standard
deviation of 0.83, which reveals high
degrees of dependence on self-care.
With current demographic changes
and consequent health needs and their
implications for health policy preparation
and planning, the measurement
and evaluation of the dependent
person and their caregiver is becoming
increasingly essential, enabling a holistic
and adjusted approach.
