Objective: to identify factors inherent in hospital care that favor urinary incontinence in the elderly. Method: an integrative review with Scopus, CINAHL and Pubmed searches. Includes original articles, no language restriction, published between 2008 and 2018. Rated level of recommendation and level of evidence were assessed using the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine classification. Exploited content through thematic analysis in light of the Donabedian model. Results: 13 articles constituted the sample. There were factors such as the unjustified and indiscriminate use of devices such as the geriatric diaper; hospital structure adversely affecting the needs of the elderly; and deficit in screening, risk identification and underreporting of the problem favor urinary incontinence in the hospitalized elderly. Conclusion: modifiable factors related to hospital structures and care processes favor both the onset and worsening of urinary incontinence in the elderly.
Objective: to analyze the oral hygiene care for hospitalized elderly patients provided by the nursing staff. Method: this is a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study carried out in a university hospital, with the participation of 35 professionals from the nursing staff. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, explored through thematic content analysis. Results: two categories emerged: The oral hygiene of hospitalized elderly patients as an extension of body care and Barriers in (lack of) care with the oral hygiene of hospitalized elderly patients, with two subcategories: The oral hygiene and dental prosthesis technique performed divergently; Care hampered by deficit of materials and human resources. Final considerations: this study showed weaknesses in the oral hygiene care of hospitalized elderly patients, promoting reflections on the practice informed in data and management actions, allowing recommendations of care standards for the nursing staff.
RESUMO Objetivo Apreender os fatores relacionados ao surgimento e/ou piora da incontinência urinária no idoso hospitalizado, considerando a tríade donabediana. Método Estudo qualitativo, descritivo, realizado com enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem de um hospital público universitário. Os dados foram coletados por meio da técnica de grupo focal; para tratamento e análise foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo, com posterior codificação das unidades de registro no software WebQDA, relacionando o corpus obtido com os pilares donabedianos. Resultados Os fatores relacionados ao surgimento e/ou piora da incontinência urinária na pessoa idosa hospitalizada mais relatados estavam interligados ao pilar estrutura, com destaque para o atributo recursos humanos, seguido dos atributos recursos materiais e estrutura física; o segundo pilar donabediano que teve maior associação com os relatos foi o pilar processo e, por último, o pilar resultado. Conclusão A identificação dos fatores relacionados ao desfecho investigado no cenário hospitalar proporcionou a reflexão e sensibilização dos participantes com relação ao problema, sendo possível, assim, propor medidas e intervenções a fim de minimizá-lo e de garantir um cuidado seguro e de qualidade ao idoso hospitalizado.
