Item Estrategias didácticas en comunicación no verbal para el cuidador del adulto mayor(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Rodríguez Díaz, Julián Andrés; Zamudio Tobar, GladysThis research contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly with hip pathologies, through the qualification of caregivers, around non-verbal communication. Therefore, from a hermeneutic interpretive paradigm and with a qualitative approach -which uses participant observation as a method- the general objective consists in proposing a didactic strategy in nonverbal communication for caregivers of elderly patients with hip pathologies. This was carried out in 3 geriatric homes in Cali with a sample of 7 caregivers and 12 elderly people. The specific objectives, are: to characterize the caregivers of the elderly with hip pathologies; determine the relationship between the nonverbal communication of the elderly and the hip pathologies that they suffer; to identify the pragmatic of nonverbal language both in the caregivers of the older adult and in the context and, the last, to design teaching strategies that strengthen non-verbal communication in the caregivers of elderly patients. These strategies were elaborate based on the weaknesses found -such as the ignorance of the concepts, codes and uses of non-verbal language- and of the exercise of observation and participation of the researcher in the activities carried out within homes. This proposal, once implemented with the auxiliaries of the health area, favors interpersonal relationships and, therefore, improves their quality of life and that of the elderly.
