Abstract

Objective: To identify in the literature the factors associated with violence against elderly people living in Long Stay Institutions for the Elderly (LSIE). Methods: Integrative review, carried out in the databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Bibliographic Index of Health Sciences (Índice Bibliográfico de Ciências da Saúde), Nursing Database and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, between October and November 2023, systematized from the PRISMA flowchart, with the help of Rayyan software, including primary studies without time or language restrictions, analyzed and synthesized by the descriptive method. Results: The final sample included 20 studies, mostly published in English, carried out in countries such as the United States, Norway, and China and published between 2004 and 2021, with a predominance of cross-sectional exploratory studies. Risk factors related to the individual characteristics of the elderly residents, the team providing care in this setting, and the organization of the services and physical structure of the LSIEs were identified. Conclusion: Through the review, it was possible to corroborate the multifactoriality of violence against elderly people living in LSIEs, contributing to the development of violence prevention tools in this context.
