Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
The aging process causes biopsychosocial changes in the individual, which are associated with frailty. With this, many diseases may arise and generate limitations to the elderly. It is in this scenario that health professionals are inserted in order to promote the health of the elderly and make aging healthy and active as advocated by public health policies. The objective of this article is to report the experience of nursing students in developing health education activities for elderly women. This is a descriptive study, based on an experience report of a Health Education project that took place in May and June 2018 at CRAS. The group was predominantly women who were interested in participating and, on average, 17 elderly women attended each meeting. The experience contributed to the development of communication and health education skills for the students. Thus, it is concluded that the model used in the conversation circle establishes a relationship of comprehensive care, builds bonds of trust from the knowledge of life stories and worldviews of the elderly and also allows to address, in an educational way, the content about the main diseases of the age group, providing guidance on the promotion and prevention of these diseases. The groups that promote health education benefit the elderly, who start to promote self-care.
