Estímulo cognitivo e socialização de idosos institucionalizados na pandemia por Covid-19

Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of nursing students and professors in the development of recreational and pedagogical activities in a Long-Term Care (LTC) Institution for older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data synthesis: This is an experience report based on the experience of students and professors of an extension project of the Nursing program in a Long-Term Care Institution for older adults in the countryside of Minas Gerais in the months of June and July 2020. The project team prepared a bingo plan, with all the older adults being awarded with coloring books and crayons. The actions unfolded in four stages: planning of activities; preparation of the material; delivery of printed material; and operationalization of the action. With the delivery of the material to the institution on July 23, the action took place on August 20, 2020. Conclusion: The planning and construction of materials, such as the bingo game and the coloring book, allowed the project to extend this follow-up to work even during the pandemic period by proposing two activities that aroused the interest and participation of all those involved.
