Highlights
- The training objectives of Nursing professionals must be aligned with Public Policies aimed at healthy aging.
- Promoting healthy age involves addressing two key functional patterns of health: Activity/Exercise and Nutritional/ Metabolic.
- In adults and older adults, the following nursing diagnoses stand out: Impaired urinary elimination, Ineffective respiratory pattern, Decreased cardiac output, and Impaired physical mobility.
- To address perceived needs and achieve quality care for hospitalized adults and older adults, nurses in training perform interventions in complex physiological, basic physiological, behavioral, and safety domains.
Introduction: With the increasing aging of the population, nursing training must address disability profiles in adults. Objective: To identify whether Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) with a population over 29 years of age, carried out by a University Program during intramural practices in hospital institutions, respond to health care guidelines for healthy aging in Colombia. Materials and Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study with an analytical component. Purposive sampling was used. A database containing 13,368 NIC records performed between 2021 and 2023 that met inclusion criteria was analyzed. The population served was characterized; intervention frequencies were obtained according to Functional Health Patterns (FHPs). Using an 80% discrimination standard, five FHPs were included, covering 87.6% (11,714) of the records. Diagnoses and interventions were identified by domains and interpreted according to Colombia's Aging Policy. SPSS-v.26 was used. Results: The population between 29 and 98 years old was attended, with similar proportions between adults: 50.47% (1,225) and older adults: 49.63% (1,206); male predominance: 62.42% (1,517). The highlighted PFS were Activity and exercise: 33.12% (4,428) and Nutritional-metabolic: 24.17% (2,830), and NIC predominated in the complex physiological domain: 39.29% (4,603): medication administration 48.97% (2,254) and in the basic physiological domain 25.99% (3,045): elimination management 24.86% (757). Discussion: Interventions are aligned with the goals of wellness, quality of life and autonomy for healthy aging. Conclusions: The University Institution fulfills its function of training Nursing professionals who respond to the needs of the social environment framed by Public Policies.
