Resumo Objetivo Descrever o estado da arte da formação do enfermeiro em instituições públicas brasileiras de ensino superior no que se refere ao cuidado ao idoso Métodos Pesquisa documental, descritiva e de abordagem qualitativa, com dados da plataforma do Ministério da Educação de julho de 2017. Foram levantadas informações dos cursos presenciais de graduação em enfermagem das universidades públicas, seguindo três fases de acesso e coleta dos dados: identificação, seleção e elegibilidade. Houve análise descritiva de caracterização e Análise Temática Indutiva qualitativa, utilizando o Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ). O projeto seguiu as normativas éticas vigentes da Resolução 510/2016 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Resultados As 87 universidades selecionadas ofertavam 154 cursos de graduação em enfermagem, a maioria na Região Nordeste. Do total de cursos, 69 (44,8%) apresentavam disciplinas mistas (que abordavam o cuidado ao idoso) e 53 (34,4%) específicas de saúde do idoso. Nos conteúdos das ementas, os termos mais utilizados na construção da nuvem de palavras foram: saúde (162), idoso (154), enfermagem (113), adulto (81), assistência (72), processo (69) e atenção (52). Na análise de similitude, verificaram-se três principais eixos organizadores das disciplinas voltadas a essa temática: saúde, enfermagem e idoso. Conclusão O ensino da enfermagem precisa estar alinhado às políticas públicas vigentes e ser coerente com o modelo de atenção à saúde proposto. Portanto, é fundamental que a formação ofertada seja condizente com as atuais demandas do mercado de trabalho.
RESUMO: O presente estudo teve o objetivo de conhecer concepções de médicos neurologistas acerca da prática dos cuidados paliativos direcionada para o doente de Alzheimer. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório de abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido em clínicas e hospitais localizados em uma capital do Nordeste brasileiro com 10 médicos neurologistas, que trabalham com portadores de Doença de Alzheimer. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de abril e maio de 2012. Para a apreensão do material empírico, utilizou-se um formulário, em entrevistas. O material foi tratado por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo temática categorial. Da análise qualitativa emergiram três categorias: finalidades dos cuidados paliativos; tipos de cuidados paliativos; e formas de enfrentamento. Os depoimentos dos médicos participantes da investigação deixaram transparecer de modo enfático a relevância dos cuidados paliativos para o doente de Alzheimer e sua família. Ante o exposto, pretende-se que esta pesquisa possa subsidiar novos estudos na referida área. Palavras-Chave: Cuidados paliativos; Doença de Alzheimer; medicina; envelhecimento.
Resumo Objetivo analisar o conteúdo de documentos propostos por movimentos sociais e entidades de classe para orientar o cuidado em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI) durante a pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil. Método Pesquisa documental, retrospectiva, descritiva e exploratória. Foram identificados quatro websites de movimentos sociais e entidades e analisados seus respectivos documentos para orientar o cuidado à pessoa idosa que vive em ILPI no contexto da pandemia no Brasil.

OBJECTIVE: to identify the changes which had occurred over the last year in the life of older adults, as well as the values attributed to these changes. METHOD: this is a multicentric, cross-sectional study, of the inquiry type, undertaken in three cities of the Brazilian Northeast, investigating two distinct groups of older adults. RESULTS: among the 236 older adults interviewed, it was observed that 30.0% reported health as the main change in their life course in the last year, this category being the most significant response among the older adults aged between 80 and 84 years old (37.7%). Changes in the family were mentioned by 11.5% of the older adults; death (9.6%) and alterations in routine activities (9.6%). In relation to the value attributed to these changes, it was ascertained that for 64.7% of the older adults aged between 65 and 69 years old, these changes were positive. In the older group, 49.4% of the older adults believe that their changes were related to losses. CONCLUSION: the knowledge of the changes mentioned, the value attributed to these changes, and the self-evaluation of health provide information which assists in formulating actions which are more specific to the real needs of these age groups. They also provide the health professionals with a better understanding of how some experiences are experienced in the life trajectories of these older adults.
This study aimed to identify elders' social representations of quality of life. This is an exploratory study with a sample of 240 elders, of both sexes. For data collection we used a Free Association Test with Words, using the inductive stimulus 'quality of life" and sociodemographic variables. The interviews were analyzed with the software Alceste. Of the 240 studied eslders, 167 were women, with the dominant age from 60 to 69 years, income between two and three minimum wages, most of the married and with catholicism as the predominant religion. The results from Alceste pointed towards seven hierarchical classes: accessibility, work, activity, support affection, care and interactions. Social representations of quality of life by elders can support professionals in understanding the adhesion to preventive practices for the elderly and in strengthening policies directed to this population.

Objective. To identify the physiological changes in older adults’ vision during the aging process. Methods. An exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative approach was conducted with 20 older adults and six healthcare providers who worked with older adults in João Pessoa, Paraíba (Brazil). The Focus Group Technique was used for data collection, with the collected information subsequently being submitted to Inductive Thematic Analysis using textual analysis software. Results. The physiological changes related to vision were described by both the older adults and healthcare providers using the following words: vision, difficulty; see; cataract; glasses; surgery; more; age; eye; and no. These terms represent declines in vision resulting from advancing age which significantly modify the daily lives of older adults and their families. Conclusion. The perception of the older adults and the healthcare providers who care for them regarding the physiological changes in vision throughout the aging process shows that the loss of visual acuity significantly affects the daily life of older adults and their families.
