The present article is a study about the nursing care of elderly people. The diversity of experiences generated by the care of the elderly in their homes has opened news area of research, improved and promoted the nursing care. The objective of this work is to characterize the home-care of elderly as an area of interest for the work of the nursing professionals. The study describes aspects of the dynamics of this work based on a critical analysis of an experience carried out with a group of elderly and pointing out its advances and challenges. The methodology used in this investigation were records of the experience of some elderly people who had undergone surgery and were still in need of nursing care at their homes. Results show that there were improvements in terms of the nursing practices, especially the practices of educational and ethic-legal nature. The practices of educational nature could propitiate a sense of citizenship and freedom, which are prerogatives for the lives of these people. The ethic-legal practices promoted more involvement of the nursing professionals in the interdisciplinary team.
本文是一项关于老年人护理的研究。在家照顾老年人所产生的经验多样性开辟了新的研究领域，改进并促进了护理工作。这项工作的目的是将老年人居家护理作为护理专业人员工作的一个感兴趣的领域进行描述。该研究基于对一组老年人的经历进行批判性分析，描述了这项工作动态的各个方面，并指出了其进展和挑战。本调查所采用的方法是记录一些接受过手术且仍在家中需要护理的老年人的经历。结果表明，在护理实践方面有了改进，特别是具有教育和伦理法律性质的实践。具有教育性质的实践可以促进公民意识和自由感，而这是这些人的生活特权。伦理法律实践促使护理专业人员更多地参与跨学科团队。
