Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar los cuidados paliativos para pacientes con enfermedad de Alzheimer en etapa avanzada. Métodos: La revisíon bibliográfica se realizó en las bases de datos PubMed y el Portal Regional de la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud del Ministerio de Salud, utilizando los descriptores "Alzheimer Disease", "Palliative Care" y "Patients". Tras aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 25 artículos que ofrecen percepciones sobre la importancia de estos cuidados. Resultados: Los resultados enfatizan la necesidad de un enfoque centrado en el paciente y la colaboración interdisciplinaria para garantizar cuidados integrales y coordinados, promoviendo confort, dignidad y calidad de vida. Las políticas de salud y las prácticas clínicas deben incluir medidas de apoyo para los cuidadores con el fin de mitigar su impacto en la salud mental y el bienestar. La comunicación abierta desde el inicio de la enfermedad es crucial para garantizar que los pacientes reciban cuidados adecuados a sus necesidades. Consideraciones finales: Persisten desafíos como el acceso limitado a los servicios de cuidados paliativos y el desarrollo de intervenciones específicas para las diferentes etapas de la enfermedad, destacando la necesidad de un compromiso continuo con la investigación, la educación y la colaboración interprofesional. Estas conclusiones proporcionan percepciones cruciales para mejorar la práctica clínica, con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con Alzheimer en etapa avanzada y sus cuidadores.
