Resumo: The Covid-19 pandemic is recognized by the WHO as an international public health emergency, which reveals several aspects of health, pathogenesis, epidemiology and care. The most susceptible populations include elderly people regardless of their health status, among others, the importance of understanding the role of nursing in the context of elderly health is highlighted. The objective of this paper is to discuss the impact of the global pandemic on the health of the elderly and the need for professional intervention to maintain quality of life. The search for studies was carried out in the NCBI/PubMed, SciELO, Academic Google and Lilacs - Bireme databases. To delimit the contents, inclusion criteria were used: articles available in full, in Portuguese and English, from 2019 to 2021 with free access and that were relevant to the theme. From the analysis of the nine articles, it was shown that the elderly face more threats and challenges in face of reality, as the physiological changes caused by the aging process directly affect their immune function and possible underlying health conditions. In addition, temporal factors and typical pathologies such as dementia, stroke and fractures, the elderly have increased their susceptibility to infection and embolism, which is related to the current infection caused by the pandemic. It was concluded that nurses are essential for promoting the health of the elderly, and carrying out actions to raise awareness of the elderly, as the impacts of the pandemic affect them in several aspects.

Las poblaciones más susceptibles incluyen a las personas mayores independientemente de su estado de salud, entre otras, se destaca la importancia de comprender el papel de la enfermería en el contexto de la salud del anciano. El objetivo de este artículo es discutir el impacto de la pandemia global en la salud de las personas mayores y la necesidad de intervención profesional para mantener la calidad de vida. La búsqueda de estudios se realizó en las bases de datos NCBI / PubMed, SciELO, Academic Google y Lilacs - Bireme. Para delimitar los contenidos se utilizaron criterios de inclusión: artículos disponibles íntegramente, en portugués e inglés, de 2019 a 2021 con acceso gratuito y que fueran relevantes para la temática. A partir del análisis de los nueve artículos, se demostró que las personas mayores enfrentan más amenazas y desafíos ante la realidad, ya que los cambios fisiológicos provocados por el proceso de envejecimiento afectan directamente su función inmunológica y posibles condiciones de salud subyacentes. Además, factores temporales y patologías típicas como demencia, ictus y fracturas, los ancianos han aumentado su susceptibilidad a infecciones y embolias, lo que se relaciona con la infección actual provocada por la pandemia. Se concluyó que las enfermeras son fundamentales para promover la salud de las personas mayores y realizar acciones de sensibilización de las personas mayores, ya que los impactos de la pandemia las afectan en varios aspectos.A pandemia da Covid-19 é reconhecida pela OMS como uma emergência internacional de saúde pública, o que revela vários aspectos da saúde, patogênese, epidemiologia e cuidados. As populações mais suscetíveis incluem idosos independentemente de seu estado de saúde, dentre outros, destaca-se a relevância de compreender o papel da enfermagem no contexto da saúde do idoso. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir o impacto da pandemia mundial na saúde do idoso e a necessidade de uma intervenção profissional para manutenção da qualidade de vida. A busca de estudos realizou-se nas bases de dados NCBI/PubMed, SciELO, Google Acadêmico e Lilacs - Bireme. Para delimitação dos conteúdos foram utilizados critérios de inclusão: artigos disponíveis na integra, em português e inglês, no período de 2019 a 2021 com acesso gratuito e que tivessem pertinência com tema. A partir da análise dos nove artigos, demonstrou-se que os idosos enfrentam mais ameaças e desafios frente à realidade, pois as alterações fisiológicas causadas pelo processo de envelhecimento afetam diretamente sua função imunológica e possíveis condições de saúde subjacentes. E ainda, fatores temporais e patologias típicas, como demência, acidente vascular cerebral e fraturas, os idosos têm aumentado sua suscetibilidade à infecção e embolia, o que está relacionado à infecção atual causada pela pandemia. Concluiu-se que o enfermeiro é fundamental para promoção da saúde do idoso, e realização de ações para conscientização do idoso, pois, os impactos da pandemia os atingem em diversos aspectos.Research, Society and Development2021-10-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2205410.33448/rsd-v10i14.22054Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 14; e145101422054Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 14; e145101422054Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 14; e1451014220542525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/22054/19438Copyright (c) 2021 Thainá Oliveira Alves; Weslem Almeida Silva Nunes; Marcos Vinícius Ferreira dos Santoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves, Thainá Oliveira Nunes, Weslem Almeida Silva Santos, Marcos Vinícius Ferreira dos 2021-12-04T11:48:39Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/22054Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:41:19.406068Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
