DESCRIPTORES ABSTRACTObjective: to identify and analyze the necessary competencies in primary health care for attending to older adults. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive, and quali-quantitative study was developed. Three rounds of the Delphi Technique were conducted with participants from primary health care services and a multidisciplinary committee. The first questionnaire asked participants to indicate the competencies needed for attending to older adults in primary health care. They were compiled into a list and added to a Likert Scale (from 1 to 5) for the second and third questionnaires. A consensus criterion of 70% was adopted. Results: Twenty eight competencies were reached by consensus and were classified into twelve domains. Conclusions: the competencies reflect Brazilian health care policy and constitute a reference for professional health practice and education when caring for the older adult in primary health care.
This study aimed at identifying the performance of Family Health Strategy (FHS) nurses in home care. It consists of an exploratory descriptive study using a qualitative approach. Six FHS nurses from a health district of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were interviewed. Data were submitted to thematic content analysis, revealing three categories: home visit (HV) in the FHS, assessment of HV demands and interaction with the health team in home care. Home visits (HV) have allowed the identification of health needs through the recognition of the patients' life context. This approach has been used for chronic, bedridden and elderly patients care, based on information brought by community health agents. All nurses reported to perform HV, and stated they would like to have more time to dedicate to this activity.
