Abstract

Objective: To analyze the management of care for hospitalized elderly people from the perspective of gerontological nursing. Method: qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study, carried out between the months of 2022 May and June, through semi-structured interviews with 18 nurses who are not specialists in gerontology, and work in services that assist elderly people in a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Results: Nurses have gaps in gerontological knowledge, generating insecurity in the management of care for hospitalized elderly people. Final considerations: Nurses who are general practitioners or specialists in areas of knowledge other than gerontology demonstrate limitations in managing care for people with gerontological demands. It is necessary to restructure the curriculum of undergraduate nursing courses, as well as to expand the insertion of specialists in gerontological nursing in hospitalization spaces with elderly patients.
