Resumo(s)
To construct and validate an algorithm for transitional care for caregivers of
dependent older adults. Method: This was a methodological study developed in three phases:
a literature review, designing an algorithm, and its validation by a peer panel with twentyseven experts selected according to pre-defined inclusion criteria. Results: The algorithm
predicted interventions in transitional care (hospital stay, at discharge, and 30 days at home
post-discharge) aimed at the exercise of the caregiver role; needs assessment; training in
care management of dependent older adults and management of self-care, and ensuring
continuity of care (of older adults and caregivers). Conclusion: Agreement between expert
raters and a reliability test of 0.92 indicate that the algorithm can be used by professionals to
decide the transitional care interventions to be administered to the caregivers of dependent
older adults. Future studies should be conducted to perform its clinical validation.
