Nurses’ competencies in health promotion for homebound older people

Abstract

Objective: to identify competencies related to health promotion targeting homebound older people, as they appear in the literature. Method: systematic review using the LILACS, Scopus, CINAHL, PubMed and Cochrane Library databases. The search was performed in November 2017. Selected articles were analyzed according to nine competency domains: enable change; advocate for health; mediate through partnership; communication; leadership; assessment; planning; implementation, and evaluation and research. Results: nine clinical trials were included. All health promotion competency domains were identified in the reviewed research interventions, performed with homebound older people. Conclusion: studies showed that the employed treatments were beneficial for the homebound older population. Interventions based on health promotion competencies were positively identified, and are linked to an effective and high-quality health care practice.

Parents’ Perspectives on the Health Education Provided by Clinicians in Portuguese Pediatric Hospitals and Primary Care for Children Aged 1 to 10 Years

“…In the planning of HE interventions, we clarified a planning with the evaluation of health needs, and, consequently, lines of action capable of acting on health determinants, adapted to the complexity of both the children and parents, and each child’s/young person’s life cycle. In parallel, studies reported that, in order to intervene, planning based on evaluation is necessary, and thus effective implementation leads to well-planned activities [ 24 ], allowing health professionals to better take advantage of opportunities; better define objectives; organize activities and interventions; and monitor, inspect, and evaluate the results [ 25 ]. The use of improvisation demonstrated the capacity for creativity and taking advantage of all opportunities in HE practice.…”

A enfermagem no cuidado paliativo domiciliar de idosos apoiada por avaliações multidimensionais: revisão integrativa

“…Em paralelo, o grau de vulnerabilidade do idoso é comumente representado pelo termo "fragilidade" e, considerando o adoecimento desse grupo, aliado ao processo biológico de envelhecimento, há uma potencialização das condições de fragilidade, incapacidades e perda de autonomia, deixando este grupo vulnerável e, na maioria das vezes, cronicamente dependente do cuidado de outros (Leandro et al, 2019).…”

“…O cuidado da enfermagem deve ser sistematizado, para que se atinja a resolubilidade das necessidades de saúde da população, qualificação e segurança ao ser ofertado (Adamy, Zocche, & Almeida, 2020). A avaliação como parte do processo de cuidar é relevante na definição do plano de cuidados, e, em se tratando de pessoas idosas no domicílio, este se se estende também à família (Barbosa, Nascimento, Carvalho, Aoyama, & Lima, 2019;Leandro et al, 2019).…”
