Reflections on elderly autonomy and its meaning for the practice of nursing care - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 06-18-2021;74(3):e20200723
To reflect on autonomy in health care, its perspective on the lives of the elderly, and its meaning for the practice of nursing care.
Theoretical essay on the practice of nursing care to promote autonomy and self-care for the elderly.
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”.
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.
