Objetivo: analisar as matérias sobre o cuidado do idoso durante a pandemia da covid-19 publicadas por três jornais considerados de maiorcirculação no Brasil.Materiais e métodos: estudo documental, retrospectivo, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, com análise qualitativa. Os dados foramcoletados de matérias publicadas on-line nos jornais O Globo, O Estado de S. Paulo e Correio Braziliense,de acesso livre, de 1 de janeiro a 31 de maio de 2020.Resultados: foram identificadas 2.147 notícias com a temática cuidado do idoso no Brasil durante a pandemia da covid-19 e, ao final, selecionadas 25. A análise possibilitou a criação de quatro categorias: i) população idosa e risco de morte por covid-19; ii) internação e sistema de saúde diante da pandemia; iii) medo e medidas de enfrentamento da população diante da pandemia e iv) profissionais de saúde e luta contra a covid-19. Conclusões: identificou-se, nas notícias analisadas, que as informações sobre o cuidado do idoso comcovid-19 relacionaram-se ao medo de que isso os levasse à UTI e, consequentemente, a óbito, mesmo diante dos esforços dos profissionais de saúde para assegurar esse cuidado e evitar o colapso do sistema de saúde.
Objective: to map the scientific knowledge about COVID-19 in older adults. Method: this is a scoping review literature review. A search was performed in the PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and LILACS databases. Original articles that answered the guiding question were included: what scientific knowledge is available in the world about COVID-19 in older adults? Results: thirty-one articles were included, most of them carried out in China (n=23) and with a retrospective design (n=13) and case studies/case series (n=13). Based on the findings, six thematic categories emerged: clinical signs and symptoms (n=12), other information (n=9), adverse outcomes/complications resulting from COVID-19 (n=8), age relationship and greater severity of COVID-19 (n=8), variables related to death by COVID-19 (n=8), and diagnostic findings (n=8). Conclusion: the findings reinforce older adults’ greater vulnerability to the worsening of COVID-19, as well as to complications resulting from the disease, including the greater occurrence of death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
