ePAGe: Sistematização do Plano de Atenção Gerontológica (PAGe)

Resumo

ABSTRACT
The Gerontological Care Plan, originally “Plano de Atenção Gerontológica
(PAGe, in Portuguese)”, is an instrument used to assist
Gerontology professionals in the multidimensional assessment of
the elderly. Since its creation, the instrument has undergone a series
of changes and in this study, we adopted the most current
version, which has 104 questions. Taking into account the number
of questions present in the instrument, it is possible to infer that
the manual application of the PAGe on paper demands time and
attention from the professional. This paper presents a systematized
version of the PAGe, whose main objective is to optimize the process
of application and analysis of the instrument. The design and
evaluation of the systematized version took place in partnership
with Gerontology professionals, those who created the PAGe or
who frequently apply it. The results point to a positive evaluation
by the specialists, especially concerning the application time and
the practicality of generating, visualizing, and analyzing the results.
