Ítem Acceso Abierto Atención en el cuidado del adulto mayor residente en centros gerontológicos: Una revisión sistemática.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2022-10-06) Zhizhingo Villacis, Luis Andres; Ochoa Maldonado, Katty; 030260277-6ABSTRACT Over time, the life expectancy of senior citizens and the number of gerontological centers increased. This study aims to analyze and understand good care practices in gerontological centers for elderly residents. A systematic review of studies published in scientific databases from 2018 in English and Spanish was carried out. The data obtained were classified into five categories: general guidelines, suitable environment, behavioral organization, nursing care, and the effects of good care on older people in gerontological centers. As a result, it was found that the new model of care is person-centered, which contributes to the autonomy of the elderly. The environment should stimulate their home, providing all the safety to prevent falls, which includes signage, ramps, handholds, and good lighting. In addition, much attention is paid to green spaces as they reduce the prevalence of mental disorders; in terms of human resources, multidisciplinary work is essential. It was noticed that there is a deficit in Ecuador compared to other countries; the nurses play an important administrative, operational and research role; social and recreational activities are also essential. Finally, all the factors above are critical for the well-being of older adults, emphasizing the development of geriatric nursing through ongoing training programs on this issue. Research is still necessary to determine the quality of care locally. Keywords: elderly, gerontological center, geriatric nursing.
