Resumo: Background and Aim: Caring for dependent older adults at home is an increasingly frequent reality in today's ageing society, resulting in the need to provide careers with the skills and knowledge which were not traditionally part of the family realm. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of an Educational Technology in the training process of careers of dependent older adults at home. Method: Participants were 12 family caregivers who accompanied older adults admitted to a reference hospital in trauma, located in Fortaleza-Ceará-Brazil, a month after returning home. Eight family caregivers reported previous experience caring for older adults at home, and four revealed to have a superficial knowledge of the matter. This was a qualitative study based on action research through the creation, application and assessment of an educational program. The Educational Technology built for this purpose was based on the Theory of Basic Human Needs and the assumptions of health education. Results: Knowledge acquisition mediated by the application of Educational Technology led to changes in providing basic human needs of older adults' in-home care, namely the understanding of the ageing process, adaptation of the physical environment, nutritional adequacy, tolerance, autonomy and family involvement. Conclusions: The use of Educational Technology had an impact on the praxis of the family caregiver through the supply of the basic human needs of the older person being cared for. This tool emerges as a useful complement to strengthen the abilities of the informal caregiver of the dependent older adult.

Esta investigação tem como objetivo analisar a eficácia de uma Tecnologia Educativa na capacitação de familiares cuidadores de adultos mais velhos dependentes em ambiente domiciliar. Métodos: Participaram 12 familiares cuidadores que acompanharam adultos mais velhos internados numa instituição hospitalar de referência em traumas, situada em Fortaleza-Ceará-Brasil, um mês após o retorno ao domicílio. Tratou-se de um estudo qualitativo assente na investigação-ação mediante construção, aplicação e avaliação de uma tecnologia educativa (TE). A TE construída para o efeito, teve por base a Teoria das Necessidades Humanas Básicas de Maslow e os pressupostos da educação para a saúde. Resultados: Oito familiares cuidadores relataram a experiência prévia no cuidado aos adultos mais velhos no domicílio e quatro revelaram um conhecimento superficial sobre o cuidar. A aquisição de conhecimento mediado pela aplicação da TE conduziu à ocorrência de mudanças no atendimento às necessidades humanas básicas de adultos mais velhos no cuidado domiciliar, designadamente, compreensão do processo de envelhecimento, adaptação do ambiente físico, adequação da alimentação, tolerância, resgate da autonomia e envolvimento da família. Conclusões: A aplicação da TE teve impacto na práxis do familiar cuidador, materializado no suprimento das necessidades básicas humanas da pessoa idosa cuidada. Esta ferramenta, desponta como complemento útil para o reforço das competências do cuidador informal do adulto mais velho dependente.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2021-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2021.7.1.208https://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2021.7.1.208Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2021): May; 52-65Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 7 N.º 1 (2021): Maio; 52-652183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/208https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/208/443https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/208/451https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/208/456Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Luiziany Pontes Rios Osterne, Zélia Maria de Sousa Araújo Santos, Maria Regina Teixeira Ferreira Capelo, July Grassiely de Oliveira Branco, Emanuelly Pontes Rios Osterne , Manoel Pereira de Sousa Filhohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOsterne, Luiziany Pontes RiosSantos, Zélia Maria de Sousa AraújoCapelo, Maria Regina Teixeira FerreiraBranco, July Grassiely de OliveiraOsterne , Emanuelly Pontes RiosFilho, Manoel Pereira de Sousa2023-05-25T22:00:56Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/208Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:47.502999Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
