El rol de la enfermera en la acogida al residente geriátrico
Resumen
Pensamos que para poder lograr esta integración y adaptación completa, la labor enfermera debería realizarse, no ya una vez que el paciente ha sido institucionalizado, sino antes, tras entrevista con la familia y, de ser posible, con la misma persona, ofreciendo una atención individualizada, donde cobren importancia las particularidades de cada uno y sus necesidades reales, siendo partícipe todo el equipo que se encargará de las tareas de atención y cuidado.

Title:
Nurses' role in elderly patients' reception
Abstract:
Institutionalization is a key process for elderly patients and results in a dramatic change. Humans live and socialize over their full life within a specific environment that must provide them safety and well-being. Such an environment includes all biological, psychological and social factors around people that interact with them over their full life. Any fact representing a traumatic change will result in maladjustments and social withdrawal and can speed impairments’ progression and cause disabling diseases. Nursing staff action is crucial to avoid all such risks resulting from change.
We think that in order to reach a successful integration and a complete adjustment, nursing actions should not be done after, but before, patient's institutionalization, once an interview with that family and, if possible, with the patient himself/herself has taken place. A tailored care should be offered and individual patient's peculiarities and real needs should be taken into account. All members of the team should be involved and perform care tasks.
