Percepción del rol de enfermería en la atención y cuidado del adulto mayor

Abstract

This article allowed to know the perception of the elderly residents of the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús nursing home regarding the care and attention provided by the nursing professional in their daily role as caregiver. A descriptive qualitative methodology focused on cross-sectional hermeneutic phenomenology was used, whose main objective was to carry out a reflexive analysis of the role played by the nursing professional in a gerontological center at a given time. As main results, we obtained the categorization of 7 items to which the older adult was subjected to generate the analysis where 7 women and 3 men participated, so it was possible to determine clear and precise criteria of what is being studied. Without a doubt, when analyzing the experience that the older adult goes through when admitted to an institution with these characteristics, it can be affirmed that it is a traumatic experience, so we must ensure that it is introduced in the most viable way possible, since it was demonstrated in the present study that poor adherence to this system will precipitate the inmate's quality of life and therefore they will not have a positive perception of the caregiver. Finally, it was concluded that the perception that the elderly resident of the Hogar Sagrado Corazón de Jesús has about the nursing professional in the development of their role is quite positive since it is framed in their total support, their safety, their nutrition, their style of life that for the majority of participants is satisfactory.
