Abstract
This extension project was designed to discuss the importance of self-care in elderly as a tool for promoting physical, mental and emotional well-being. Due to increasing population aging and the recurring issue of family abandonment faced by many in this age group, it is necessary to consider practices that promote self-care for this target audience. For this purpose, an intervention was planned at the SAME Nursing Home institute, organized into stations focusing on psychoeducation across four different themes aimed at promoting health in three areas most likely to be affected in this age group.
