Abstract

The rapid aging of the population in Brazil presents a significant challenge for health management and opportunities for enhancing psychogerontological services. Regarding service improvements, the SERVQUAL model is a tool for examining qualitative dimensions of health services related to customer satisfaction. The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review on the quality of psychogerontological services and establish connections between its findings and the assessment dimensions of the SERVQUAL model. The methodology involves a literature review protocol that includes searching and selecting articles from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Additionally, it structures the establishment of relationships between the assessment dimensions and the findings of the selected articles. The application of this method led to the selection of 22 articles. Reliability was the most frequently addressed dimension, followed by empathy, assurance, responsiveness, and tangibles. The main relationships established with these dimensions concern the education in psychology and the competencies required for a better understanding of the aging process's particularities, the prior understanding of the elderly client's needs and expectations for better service planning, the reflection on professional practice in light of resoluteness, attention to tangible aspects, and, finally, the accessibility of psychogerontological services.
