Resumen
MOSTACERO MORCILLO, Elena y MARTINEZ MARTIN, María Luisa. Role of the nurse in the active and healthy aging. Narrative Review. Gerokomos [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.4, pp.181-189. Epub 03-Feb-2020. ISSN 1134-928X.
Objective:
Analyze the available scientific evidence on the role of the nurse in the active and healthy aging policies.
Methodology:
Narrative review through bibliographic search in Health Sciences databases: PubMed, LILACS, CUIDEN, CINAHL and Cochrane Library, and in general search engines: ScieLo Spain and Dialnet Plus.
Results:
A total of 772 articles was identified. Finally, 44, that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were selected. The analysis of the information generated two categories: areas of responsibility of the nurse in the programs of active aging and intervention of the nurse as coordinator of social and health resources.
Conclusions:
Promoting active and healthy aging requires adopting a perspective of the complete life cycle on the part of professionals of the health system, proposing interventions for the promotion of health and prevention of disease, and promoting equitable access to both primary care and long-term care, where the role of the nurse is decisive.
