Abstract

Objective: To describe the performance of nurses in caring for older adults in the Family Health Strategy of Manacapuru-Amazonas.
Method: A descriptive and qualitative study conducted with 16 nurses from 11 Basic Family Health Units, using a semi-structured instrument qualitatively analyzed by the Content Analysis Technique.
Results: Care directed to the spontaneous demand and focused on pathologies; nurses are not trained to provide specific care to the older adult population and face the deficiency or absence of a family role in caring for older adults in the Family Health Strategy.
Conclusion: The daily practice of nurses in the Family Health Strategy in caring for older adults suffers from significant deficit due to the lack of planning and professional training. In view of this problem, it is important that public policies are implemented and directed to the local and regional population and gerontological nursing care scenarios.
