Abstract

This article refers to a descriptive and analytical study whose main objective was to describe and analyze the

perceptions of nursing academics about education in Gerontology. The sample was composed by 57 nursing academics of

Paraiba State University. Given the content analysis, two theme categories were selected: the elements involved in caring

for elderly (including the requirement of subjectivity and expertise, in addition to the social recognition to the elderly); and

another was related to practices and knowledge needed to care for the elderly in nursing education. It is suggested that

more studies should be directed in order to the reflection on the nursing schools’ curriculum, and discussions about the

elderly health should be carried out in order to enable the educate nurses that are able to meet the challenges of an aging

population.
