Abstract

Abstract: This paper exposes an experience in the field of health
showing a health promotion project in collaboration with the Deaf
Community and addressed to elderly deaf people. Nursing students
carried out this project in their Final Degree Project in the Service-Learning
modality. An intervention was framed in a health education
program, that consisted of 3 sessions of 2 hours each, it was carried
out with a group of 20 elderly deaf people in which aspects of healthy
aging were addressed in a theoretical and practical way (physical
activity and exercise; healthy eating; healthy sleep and rest; and
diseases prevalent in the population). For the students and for the
Deaf Community the experience turned out to be very satisfactory,
resulting in this very enriching experience at the level of learning and
acquisition of skills in community work, as well as at the level of contact
with the Deaf Community.
