O envelhecimento humano é considerado um fenômeno populacional reconhecidamente heterogêneo e multidimensional. Objetivou-se, nesse estudo, investigar a utilização da Avaliação Geriátrica Ampla (AGA) como subsídio para o processo de cuidar em enfermagem a pessoas idosas, em uma Caixa de Autogestão em Saúde, na cidade de Fortaleza-CE. Trata-se de um estudo documental, transversal, de abordagem quantitativa. A amostra foi composta de 70 prontuários de acompanhamento de idosos acima de 80 anos. A coleta dos dados ocorreu, por meio de um formulário semiestruturado, realizada no período de maio a junho de 2015. Constatou-se que 50% dos participantes apresentaram mais de oito anos de estudo. Verificou-se, ainda, que 57,1% são independentes para as atividades de vida diária (AVDs) e que 78,6% dos domicílios estão adequados para redução de risco de quedas. Dentre as comorbidades clínicas existentes, a hipertensão arterial está presente em 22%, seguida de Diabetes Mellitus, com 14,3%. Considera-se, nesse estudo, que a perda funcional ainda se constitui como uma condição de atenção ao cuidado de enfermagem para a população idosa, porquanto pode causar fraturas, síndrome da imobilidade, aumento do grau de dependência, depressão, isolamento social, dentre outras questões referentes ao processo de senilidade, implicando, desse modo, a necessidade de atuação de forma contínua e dinâmica em estratégias de educação em saúde a essa parcela crescente da população. Palavras-chave: Avaliação Geriátrica.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the Ample Geriatric Assessment (AGA) as a subsidy for the nursing care process for elderly people in a Health Self-Management Box in the city of Fortaleza-CE. This is a documentary study, cross-sectional with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 70 follow-up charts for the elderly over 80 years. The data were collected through a semi-structured form, carried out from May to June 2015. It was verified that 50% of the participants presented more than 8 years of study. It was also verified that 57.1% are independent for activities of daily living (ADLs) and that 78.6% of the households are adequate to reduce the risk of falls. Among the existing clinical comorbidities, arterial hypertension is present in 22%, followed by Diabetes Mellitus, with 14.3%. It is considered in this study that functional loss is still a condition of attention to nursing care for the elderly population, as it can cause fractures, immobility syndrome, increased dependency, depression, social isolation, among other issues relating to the senility process, implying, therefore, the need to act in a continuous and dynamic form in health education strategies to this growing part of the population. Keywords: Geriatric Assessment.

(1) Background: It is important to assess physical and nutritional status using the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). However, the correlation between the CGA usage and nutritional-related assessments remain unclear. This study aims to clarify the correlation between the CGA usage and other nutritional-related assessments. (2) Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey on clinical use of CGA, assessment of sarcopenia/sarcopenic dysphagia/cachexia, and defining nutritional goals/the Nutrition Care Process/the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)/the Kuchi–Kara Taberu Index. (3) Results: The number of respondents was 652 (response rate, 12.0%), including 77 who used the CGA in the general practice. The univariate analyses revealed that participants using the CGA tended to assess sarcopenia (P = 0.029), sarcopenic dysphagia (P = 0.001), and define nutritional goals (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses for the CGA usage revealed that using ICF (P < 0.001), assessing sarcopenia (P = 0.001), sarcopenic dysphagia (P = 0.022), and cachexia (P = 0.039), and defining nutritional goals (P = 0.001) were statistically significant after adjusting for confounders. (4) Conclusions: There are correlations between the use of CGA and evaluation of sarcopenia, sarcopenic dysphagia, and cachexia and nutritional goals.

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on autonomy in health care, its perspective on the lives of the elderly, and its meaning for the practice of nursing care. Methods: Theoretical essay on the practice of nursing care to promote autonomy and self-care for the elderly. Results: It is necessary to qualify the practice of nursing care to consider the aging process and maintain the autonomy of the elderly. Three parts emerged: “The autonomy of the elderly and the care plan”, “Nursing in the self-care process”, and “Challenges to the practice of caring for the elderly in nursing”. Final considerations: There is still a deficiency in promoting autonomy for the elderly due to the need for a review of the practice of nursing care, which, considering aging in Brazil, needs to undertake new actions in order to encourage self-care and autonomy in this population.

Knowledge And Attitude

This study assessed the knowledge and attitude toward palliative care for the elderly among health professionals in a tertiary geriatric hospital in Vietnam and explored their determinants. Cross-sectional data were obtained on 161 geriatric health professionals at the National Geriatric Hospital. Modified-Palliative Care Knowledge Test and Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying instruments were used to measure knowledge and attitude toward geriatric palliative care. As a result, 40.5% physicians and 74.2% nurses showed insufficient knowledge about geriatric palliative care (p < 0.05). The lowest score was for dyspnea, following by gastrointestinal and pain problems. No significant difference was found regarding the attitude between physicians and nurses (p > 0.05). Health professional category, age, and years of experience were found to be associated with knowledge about palliative care. Meanwhile, only knowledge score had correlations with total attitude score (Coef. = 0.2; 95%CI = 0.1–0.3), attitude toward patients (Coef. = 0.1; 95%CI = 0.0–0.1) and toward patients’ family (Coef. = 0.1; 95%CI = 0.0–0.1). This study highlights a significant knowledge gap and preferable attitude toward palliative care for the elderly among physicians and nurses in the geriatric hospital. Intensive training about geriatric palliative care, focusing on pain, dyspnea and gastrointestinal issue management, should be performed to ensure the quality of palliative care services, especially in nurses.
