| description | <p><strong>Background:</strong> the COVID 19 pandemic causes the death of many people, mainly older adults. Knowing about it is one way to prevent it.<br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to describe the results of an educational intervention on COVId 19, in older adults.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> educational intervention carried out in a universe of 230 older adults, from which a sample of 178 dispensed elderly people belonging to the Family Doctor´s Office No. 4 in Cumanayagua was selected. A diagnosis was made to identify the level of knowledge about COVID-19, in which aspects about the disease were investigated, such as: symptoms, prevention measures, transmission routes. They were also asked about compliance with prevention measures. On that basis, an educational intervention was developed. <strong>Results: </strong>The 50 % present risk factors; knowledge about symptoms increased from 10.1% before the intervention to 100% after; on transmission routes from 35.9 % to 83.7 % and that of preventive measures from 53.9 % to 91.7 %. They learned to use the mask correctly. The satisfaction of the elderly with the educational actions was high.<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> after the application of educational actions, there was an increase in knowledge about the disease, which may be favorable for its prevention in this group of elderly.</p> |
