Abstract

Introduction: the immobility syndrome (IS) is defined by specific clinical criteria, namely, presence of the two major criteria, cognitive decline and multiple contractures and at least two of the smallest, dysphagia, aphasia, pressure injury and double incontinence and indicates palliative care from the moment of its identification.
Objective: to determine the prevalence of IS in patients in home care and to verify their inclusion in palliative care.
Methods: this is a documentary, descriptiveexploratory and retrospective study, collected from patients’ records of the Home Care Service of Curitiba, from 1 to 31 July 2018, totaling 566 patients. Inclusion criteria: age equal to or greater than 18 years, being in home care, presenting criteria for IS. Exclusion criteria: incomplete data that prevent the characterization of the IS. The chi-square association test and the ANOVA test were used. The p ? 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: n=56 (9.9%) presented criteria for IS. The occurrence of IS in the female sex was 13.1% and in the male, 6.1%, with statistical significance (p=0.0218). The mean age was 72.43. Regarding the minor criteria n=56 (100%) had double incontinence, n=48 (83.9%) dysphagia, n=41 (73.2%) aphasia, and n=31 (55.4%) pressure injuries. Of the patients with IS 44.46% were in palliative care.
Conclusion: IS was associated with females, mean age was 72.43 years. The prevalence was 9.9%, of which only 44.46% were in palliative care, which indicates that home care is not offering its patients the best care possible.
