ALONSO TRIANA, Lena et al. Emotional support in elder people toward COVID-19: an urgent need. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.2, pp. 3159-3166.  Epub 30-Abr-2021. ISSN 1684-1824.

Elder people represent a group of significant vulnerability to the disease, often associated to unfavorable prognoses. The aim of the current work is substantiating the theoretical positions underpinning the importance of the emotional support in elder people toward COVID-19. The historical and research antecedents of the theme were looked for during the research and the main related precepts were approached, and also studies showing its importance. Theoretical tools for the social support are proposed; they offer the possibility for elder people to minimize the presence of negative emotional conditions that are experienced in Cuba with COVID-19.

Palavras-chave : elder people; emotional support; emotional conditions.
