ABSTRACT
Objetivo: analisar a cobertura vacinal contra COVID-19 em Instituições de Longa Permanência para idosos. Método: estudo transversal com dados agregados fornecidos pela Comissão Intersetorial de Acompanhamento das Instituições de Longa Permanência da Bahia. Foram incluídas as instituições identificadas em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, com pelo menos um residente idoso (60 ou mais anos) que responderam ao inquérito de vacinação realizado entre maio a julho de 2021. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 83 estabelecimentos, com predomínio de instituições privadas (50,1%) e filantrópicas (32,5%). A cobertura vacinal da COVID-19 atingiu 94,7% dos idosos residentes e 75,2% dos trabalhadores. Conclusão: o estudo mostra alta cobertura vacinal em idosos residentes nestas instituições, porém, menor cobertura entre os trabalhadores. A maximização da cobertura vacinal entre os cuidadores e residentes é fundamental, devido à extrema vulnerabilidade da população idosa institucionalizada à COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE: To elaborate a reflection on the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and her contributions to nursing research. METHODS: This is a reflective theoretical study based on one of Merleau-Ponty's works and recent scientific literature on the subject. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Three themes were developed that combine the contribution of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, starting from the central concepts of philosophy and nursing care. The approach to the body not only from a biological expression, but from the phenomenology of the lived body provides an existentialist vision of the understanding of the human being immersed in the world and its relations with holistic care. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Merleau-Ponty's philosophical reference is very useful in the generation of nursing knowledge, constituting a support for phenomenological research since it allows the understanding of the subjective phenomena of care through the body.
