Perception of Family Health Strategy professionals about the service rendered to the elderly: an integrating literature review

This investigation is an integrating review that aims to search in the literature and evaluate the professionals' perception about the service rendered to the elderly by professionals working at the Family Health Strategy. Two databases have been used to select the works, Medline and Lilacs, amounting to a sample group of 10 publications. After the analysis of the works included in the review, the results show that FHS professionals acknowledge the team's lack of preparation in relation to the elderly, and emphasize the organizational and FHS policy difficulties concerning the care offered to senior citizens.
