| Abstract (English): |
The article focuses on the relationship between self-care and frailty in older adults, highlighting the increase in this population and the implications for public health. Self-care is defined as individual actions for well-being, while frailty is described as a state of vulnerability associated with aging. Research conducted at the "María del Rosario" Senior Citizens and Pensioners Center in Salta reveals that 10% of participants are considered frail, with a predominantly partial level of self-care. It concludes that professional nursing support is crucial for improving the quality of life of older adults and recommends continuing research in this area. [Extracted from the article] |
