Resumen
VELLOSO, Isabela Silva Câncio et al. Palliative Care for the Elderly in the Healthcare System: A Scoping Review. Aquichan [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.3, e2238. Epub 16-Ago-2022. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2022.22.3.8.
Objective:
To map the scientific evidence related to the organization of palliative care practices provided for the elderly in the Healthcare System.
Materials and methods:
This is a scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute's method. The search was conducted in the PubMed, Cinahl, Web of Science, Scopus, VHL/Lilacs, Embase, and Cochrane databases, identifying 1,150 articles managed using the Endnote software. After the selection, the study sample consisted of 12 articles. The data were organized in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, submitted to descriptive analysis, and discussed with the literature.
Results:
The relevance of palliative care practices for older adults to be organized in the Healthcare System was noted, focusing on primary healthcare, at home, and interdisciplinary coordination. However, there is still a fragmented offer of this care with limited considerations regarding the challenges and possibilities of its effectiveness.
Conclusions:
The mapping of scientific evidence on the subject shows that discussions regarding the insertion of palliative care in the Healthcare System are modest. The studies explore the role of primary care as the organizer of these practices, although in a fragmented perspective, with limited coordination between the Healthcare System services.
