Abstract

Objective: to build care gerontotechnologies to help family caregivers with the difficulties experienced in the context of elderly people with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: strategic action research carried out with seven family caregivers of elderly people with Alzheimer's disease and 12 health academics from a university. Data was gathered from the family caregivers using a semi-structured interview. Three focus groups were held with the academics. The data was submitted to the discursive textual analysis technique. Results: eight difficulties experienced by family caregivers emerged, corresponding to cognitive aspects, Activities of Daily Living and issues relating to family care. It was possible to construct 14 care gerontotechnologies in product form. Conclusion: gerontotechnologies were built to help family caregivers with the difficulties experienced by elderly people living with Alzheimer's disease. Contributions to practice: the gerontotechnologies developed have the potential to contribute to the care process, since they can be used by family caregivers on a daily basic and can be adapted to each reality, based on the unique needs of each elderly person.

在老年痴呆症患者的背景下建立老年护理技术

目的:建立老年护理技术，帮助家庭照顾者解决老年痴呆症患者的困难。方法:对7名老年痴呆症患者的家庭照顾者和12名大学卫生学者进行战略行动研究。通过半结构化访谈从家庭照顾者那里收集数据。与学者举行了三个焦点小组讨论。将数据提交给话语文本分析技术。结果:出现了家庭照顾者经历的8个困难，分别对应于认知方面、日常生活活动方面和家庭照顾相关问题。以产品形式构建14种老年护理技术是可能的。结论:老年技术的建立是为了帮助家庭照顾者解决老年痴呆症患者所经历的困难。对实践的贡献:开发的老年技术有可能对护理过程做出贡献，因为它们可以被家庭护理人员日常使用，并且可以根据每个老年人的独特需求进行调整。
