Introduction: community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly is a global health problem in the context of population aging, which makes its prevention and early diagnosis necessary.
Objective: to implement an educational intervention strategy aimed at increasing knowledge on the subject in elder people over 60 years from the Doctor’s Office nr. 27 of the Mario Munoz Monroy Teaching Polyclinic.
Materials and methods: a quasi-experimental study of educational intervention type was conducted in the municipality Rafael Freyre, in the province of Holguin, between January 2019 and December 2020. A sample of 50 community representatives, intentionally selected, was worked on to investigate their level of information on the subject before and after applying the educational intervention. The statistical method used was the McNemar’s test, using the SPSS statistical package.
Results: the knowledge on the symptoms and signs of community-acquired pneumonias that were evaluated as good, increased from 18 to 80%, and on preventive measures the results increased from 22 to 94%. The indicator with the best results was risk factors, where the good value of the scale increased to 96% after the intervention.
Conclusions: the educational intervention applied with the aim of increasing the knowledge of patients over 60 years of age from the Doctor’s Office nr. 27 of the Mario Muñoz Monroy Teaching Polyclinic, made it possible to enrich their knowledge about community-acquired pneumonias.
