Educational interventions by nurses in caregivers with their elderly patients at home.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The home is the natural setting for the development of informal care. The work that nurses are required to develop in this context (the carer/the elderly dependent/the home) focuses on training and educational activities to assist these two groups, such as demonstrating care activities to help dependent seniors, instruction in self-care techniques and teaching strategies for the use of human and material resources.

Aims

This article analyzes care education interventions performed by nurses, and the factors that facilitate, or limit, health care training.

Methodological approach

This is a qualitative, descriptive study designed to be flexible and openly analytical in its approach to the research problem and the dynamic nature of the home environment. Trian
