Resumen
OBJECTIVE: To understand how nurses see care delivery to elderly women.
METHODS: In this phenomenological study, ten nurses working at Primary Health Care Units were
interviewed between September 2010 and January 2011.
RESULTS: In care delivery, nurses consider the elderly women's knowledge background and
biographical situation, and also value the family's participation as a care mediator. These professionals have
the acuity to capture these women's specific demands, but face difficulties to deliver care to these
clients. Nurses expect to deliver qualified care to these women.
CONCLUSION: The theoretical and methodological approach of social phenomenology permitted revealing
that the nurse designs qualified care to elderly women, considering the possibilities in the
context. This includes the participation of different social actors and health sectors, assuming
collective efforts in action strategies and professional training, in line with the particularities and care
needs of elderly women nurses identify.
