Abstract

Bibliographic research on the production of scientific knowledge about “elderly people institutionalization”
in Brazil. Health-related periodicals and journals published between 2003 and 2008 were consulted. Full text articles
available on the Internet or in the Library of Health Sciences of the Federal University of Paraná containing the terms:
institutionalized elder, institutionalization of elderly people, elder inpatient, inpatient care for elderly people, nursing care
and gerontological nursing in the title or as descriptors, and also those containing the description of the methodological
procedure adopted were included. The 38 articles were classified into the following four categories: epidemiological
aspects, care and caregivers, specific of institutionalization and others were selected. We found that most articles focused
on collective health and there was no practical model for inpatient care for elderly people.
