Produção científica acerca do plano de intervenções de enfermagem para a doença de Alzheimer

Abstract

Objectives: The present work aims to develop a nursing intervention plan for patients with Alzheimer's. Methodology: Through an integrative methodology, in the light of data collected in Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Eletroni Library Online (SCIELO) and articles published between 2018 and 2023, in the Portuguese language. 46 articles were found with descriptors Dementia, Alzheimer's, nursing care. Of the 46 articles found, 12 were selected by title, and of the 12 selected, 09 were selected by the summary, of those selected by the summary, 05 were chosen for reading in full, thus bringing the work to construction. Six articles with nursing care descriptors were discarded because they were repeated. The constructions of the intervention plan were based on Wanda's Theory. Result: it was constructed using table 1 with the purpose of basing nursing interventions on the different stages of Alzheimer's. Discussion: it was based on existing literature to identify and analyze the main causes associated with symptoms in each of the four stages of the disease. Final considerations: It is possible to observe, through the intervention plan, the importance of the multidisciplinary services that the disease demands with the inclusion of nursing care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease. In view of this, the need for comprehensive nursing care is evident, aiming at quality of life during the clinical manifestations of the disease. In this way, Alzheimer's disease is challenging, since throughout its evolutionary process the patient and family go through a great deal of learning.
