Abstract(s)
A qualidade dos cuidados à boca que se prestam aos idosos é da responsabilidade dos enfermeiros. Este estudo consiste numa revisão integrativa da literatura que objetiva identificar o estado atual do conhecimento científico sobre as controvérsias associadas aos cuidados à boca da pessoa idosa. O levantamento bibliográfico foi feito no mês de junho de 2017 em bases de dados nacionais e internacionais, obtendo-se uma amostra final de cinco artigos. Os dados originaram as seguintes categorias temáticas: Análise dos conceitos dos cuidados à boca nos idosos; Necessidades dos idosos dependentes no que diz respeito aos cuidados à boca; Conhecimentos e habilidades dos enfermeiros na prestação de cuidados à boca em idosos. Pontua-se que o enfermeiro desempenha um papel ímpar no contexto da prestação dos cuidados à boca nos idosos, mas que é um cuidado subestimado, existindo inúmeros hiatos para a realização dessas intervenções.
The quality of elderly’s mouth care is nurses’ responsibility. This study is an integrative literature review that aims to identify the current state of scientific knowledge about the controversies associated with the mouth care of the elderly. The bibliographic research occurred in June 2017 in national and international scientific databases, obtaining a final sample of five articles. The data resulted in the following thematic categories: Analysis of the concepts of mouth care in the elderly; Needs of the dependent elderly on the care of the mouth; Knowledge and skills of nurses in the provision of oral care in the elderly. It is assumed that nurses play a singular role in the context of the provision of mouth care in the elderly, but that it is an underestimated care, and there are innumerable gaps in the performance of these interventions.
