RESUMO
Resumo Introdução O controle da disseminação do coronavírus em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI) é considerado um desafio, uma vez que os idosos fazem parte do grupo de risco e apresentam prognóstico bastante desfavorável e também alta letalidade. Objetivo Conduzir uma rapid review para mapear e sintetizar a literatura sobre medidas de enfrentamento de Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) em ILPI. Método Foi realizada uma Rapid review, e as buscas foram conduzidas nas bases de dados eletrônicas Biblioteca Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, Medline/Pubmed e Google Scholar. Foram incluídas publicações a partir de 2019, nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol. A seleção das publicações ocorreu em duas etapas: leitura dos títulos/resumos; e leitura na íntegra de todas as publicações selecionadas. As recomendações para enfrentamento da COVID-19 em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos foram extraídas e agrupadas de acordo com o conteúdo. Resultados Foram selecionadas 59 publicações que descreviam recomendações referentes aos temas: controle da disseminação do vírus; formação / educação continuada dos trabalhadores responsáveis pelo cuidado ao idoso; bem como o cuidado no contexto da pandemia: residentes, trabalhadores e familiares, e planejamento e gerenciamento de ações para o enfrentamento. Conclusão As recomendações para o enfrentamento da COVID-19 demandam comportamentos para evitar a disseminação do vírus, adaptações nas dinâmicas de cuidado e de convivência nas instituições, planejamento de ações específicas e suporte familiar, institucional e do Estado para assegurar a proteção da saúde física e psicossocial dos idosos e trabalhadores.
Abstract Background Controlling the spread of the coronavirus in Long-Term Care Facilities for older adults is considered a challenge, since this group have a very unfavorable prognosis and also high lethality. Objective To conduct a rapid review of guidelines to manage COVID-19 in Long-Term Care Facilities for older adults. Method A Rapid review was carried out, searches were conducted in the electronic databases Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo and Medline/Pubmed. Publications from 2019 were included, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. The selection of publications took place in two stages: reading the titles/abstracts and reading in full all selected publications by two independent researchers. Guidelines for managing COVID-19 in LCTFs were extracted and grouped according to content. Results 59 publications were selected describing guidelines regarding control of the spread of the virus; training/continuing education of staff responsible for caring for the elderly residents; care addressing residents, staff and family during the pandemic and planning and management of actions to manage the disease. Conclusion Guidelines for managing COVID-19 demand for behaviors to prevent the spread of the virus and adaptations in the dynamics of care and the coexistence inside facilities. They also require planning for specific actions that include family, institutional and State support so the protection of physical and psychosocial health of the elderly residents and staff is ensured.
RESUMO
Abstract This study aimed to map evidence-based guidelines for oral care of the dependent elders and perform the cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese. Initially, a systematized review was conducted in Medline, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases without restrictions in search period or type of study. Articles in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese describing evidence-based guidelines for oral care, including oral hygiene recommendations, of institutionalized dependent elders were included as long as they presented an evaluation of evident quality. The guideline that met inclusion criteria was submitted to cross-cultural adaptation after obtaining permission from the original authors. Two hundred and nineteen references were found. Three selected articles described evidence-based guidelines for oral care, but the Oral Health Care Guideline for Older People in Long-term Care Institutions (OGOLI), originally developed and implemented in the Netherlands, was selected. It was based on evidence level A2 and consensus of experts and met the quality requirements of the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation (AGREE). This guideline presents oral care recommendations for elders with different levels of dependence in activities of daily living to be performed by caregivers and nursing staff. The adaptation of the OGOLI was mainly on the attributions of care providers, given the differences in professional regulations between Brazil and the Netherlands. The cross-cultural equivalence between OGOLI and its Brazilian Portuguese version was verified.
