Atención de enfermería para mejorar el bienestar físico del adulto mayor en el centro de rehabilitación.

Abstract

The present research focused on the growing problem of physical well-being in older adults within rehabilitation centers. Deterioration in physical health in this population can significantly affect their quality of life and ability to perform daily activities. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to develop an educational guide that can improve this situation. The specific objectives were aimed at substantiating the theoretical references through a bibliographic review, carrying out a diagnosis of the current situation and evaluating the results obtained. The scope of the research included an extensive literature review, as well as observations and interviews in various rehabilitation centers, integrating various theories and practices to formulate an effective guideline. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, data was collected and analyzed, discovering that many of these centers lack adequate practices and strategies to promote the physical well-being of older adults. Likewise, common challenges were identified, such as physical limitations, nutritional problems and mental health concerns, that need to be addressed. In response to these findings, a guide was developed that proposes practical strategies to improve aspects such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management and mental health of older adults. The research conclusions indicate that the guide has the potential to significantly improve the physical well-being of older adults in rehabilitation centers, highlighting the need for continuous training of staff, individual adjustments to practices, implementation of evaluation and improvement systems. continues, as well as the importance of continuing research and development in this field.
