- Abstract
Objective: it is an integrative literature review, in order to verify the knowledge produced by researchers about the perception of older people on Alzheimer's disease (AD). Method: the literature review was conducted in the Virtual Health Library (BVS BRAZIL), MEDLINE and in the Capes Journal Portal databases. Results: the final sample consisted of nine scientific articles selected by previously established inclusion criteria. It was noticed the little amount of scientific articles published on Alzheimer's disease with qualitative methodology using the Theory of Social Representations (SR). Conclusion: there was the need for research to investigate the behavior of elderly patients in face of Alzheimer's disease having the theory of SR as theoretical support so that in the near future benefits with scientific basis are accumulated, creating opportunities for interventions such as health policies, with the main purpose to improve the quality of life for seniors.
