Abstract

TEJEDA DILOU, Yoni; SUAREZ FUENTES, Rafael René  and  DANDICOURT THOMAS, Caridad. Humanization of Nursing Care for the Community Elderly in Needs. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.1, e3124.  Epub Mar 01, 2021. ISSN 0864-0319.

Introduction:

Nursing's essence is humanized care from a holistic perspective, oriented towards searching for specific solutions to meet the needs of community elderlies.

Objective:

To systematize the scope and nature of the existing scientific literature about humanization of nursing care for the community elderlies in needs.

Methods:

Integrative review carried out in 2019 to develop a reflective-critical analysis in documents, as well as in original and review articles, available in SciELO, Redalyc, Medigraphic and Medline, published in Spanish, Portuguese and English between 2005 and 2019. The guiding question was elaborated through the CPC acronym. The search strategy was carried out using the keywords cuidado enfermero en la comunidad [community nursing care], cuidados humanizado en ancianos [humanized care for elderlies], and humanización de la atención [humanization of care], identified in DeCS or MeSH and linked using the Boolean operators AND and OR. A flow chart (PRISMA diagram) was used. The analysis, synthesis and systematization of content allowed to interpret the theoretical references and the organization of knowledge from the thirteen selected bibliographies.

Conclusions:

Through the systematization of the scientific bibliographies, the scope and nature of humanized care for community elderlies in needs was addressed, with an integrative vision, from a holistic perspective oriented towards community care, and through the relationship of the nursing professional in health institutions.

Keywords : cares; nursing; elderly; nursing care; humanization of care.
