Abstract

Introduction: Nursing care is approached from a holistic perspective that allows meeting the real needs of patients in their settings, whose functions include helping the sick or healthy elderlies carry out activities that contribute to their health, recovery or having a quiet death in the community.

Objective: To present some considerations about the integration of nursing care in the elderly in need from the community perspective.

Methods: A systematic bibliographic review was carried out to develop a critical-reflective analysis about the integration of nursing care in the elderly in need from the community perspective, using documents, original articles and review available in Google Scholar and Medline, in the period from March to June 2018. The keywords used were Cuidado de enfermería [Nursing care], cuidados comunitarios [community care], Enfermería [Nursing] and integración de cuidados de enfermería [integration of nursing care], identified through DECs or MeSH. Analysis, synthesis and systematization methods were used, which made the interpretation and organization of knowledge possible. After the identification of the preselected studies, the titles, abstract and keywords were read, and the relevance to the study was checked.

Conclusions: The integration of nursing care allowed contextualizing this phenomenon from the community perspective, through the contribution of specific elements to the management, follow-up and control of the elderly in need.
