Abstract:

Qualitative descriptive-analytical study developed in a primary health care unit organized by the ESF. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five health professionals: two doctors, a nurse and two health agents (ACS). Guiding topics of the interview: data on the interviewee; elderly care; attention to family members; perception of the experience of limit situations in the monitoring of the elderly; and difficulties encountered in the ESF to assist the elderly. Representations related to ESF professionals are directly related to the exercise of work. The ACS are ed as the unit\'s thermometer and eyes. Doctors perceive a great demand and as holders of the biomedical saber and prescribers of medication. Nursing as a professional mediator between CHA and doctor. The spontaneous demands of the elderly and their families continue to be sustained without a tripod: doctor, equipment and medication. As family difficulties comprise dementia, the perception of care as a burden and socioeconomic permissions were aspects that affect intensifiers of the dementia process. The creation of a bond between professionals, family members and the elderly, was perceived as an emotional health care device fundamental for the monitoring of dementia cases.
