abstract = "Background: The increase in the elderly population and life expectancy brings new challenges to RNs. The promotion and empowerment of these people for self-care is an added value in the search for well-being and quality of life, where the RN can intervene effectively. Objective: Identify which RN interventions for empowering the elderly person with mobility impairment and self-care deficit.Methodology: SLR by searching RCTs using the EBSCO Host - Research Databases platform, including the following databases: Academic Search CompIete; Business Source CompIete; CINAHL Plus with Full Text; Cochrane; ERIC; Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts; MedicLatina; MEDLINE with Full Text; Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive; PsychoIogy and Behavioral Sciences CoIIection; RegionaI Business News; SPORTDiscus with Full Text; Teacher Reference Center in the period between 2016 and 2022.Results: A total of 12 studies were found that demonstrate functional gains in the elderly with mobility impairment as a result of rehabilitation interventions or caregiver involvement in the rehabilitation process.Conclusion: The implementation of a functional re-education plan can be effective in promoting functionality and empowering the elderly for self-care.
