Abstract(s)
Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, a violência contra o adulto mais velho é qualquer ato ou ausência do mesmo, com ou sem intenção, que causa dano e sofrimento. O presente estudo visa a análise da violência e funcionalidade familiar em adultos mais velhos, no âmbito da unidade curricular de Metodologias de Investigação Avançadas II, do curso de Psicologia da Educação, da Universidade Católica de Braga. Ao longo da investigação não foram encontrados dados estatisticamente significativos entre a violência e as restantes variavéis analisadas. Ainda assim o sexo masculino obteve médias mais elavadas, tal como nos participantes que frequentaram apenas o 1º ano de escolaridade. Considerando a idade, os adultos mais velhos com idades até 70 anos apresentaram os valores médios mais elevados, sendo as médias mais baixas pertencentes ao grupo de adultos mais velhos com mais de 80 anos. A violência nos adultos mais velhos é um assunto que deve ser atentado, uma vez que esta população é muitas vezes esquecida. Acreditase que a capacitação de todos os profissionais e a psicoeducação junto dos familiares destes inidividuos e com os mesmos são práticas futuras fundamentais.
According to the Worl Health Organization, violence against the elder is any act or absence thereof, with or without intent that causes harm and suffering. The present study aims to analyze violence and familiar functionality towards older adults within the scope of the curricular unit of Advanced Reserch Methodologies II of the Psychology of Education degree, at the Catolic University of Braga. Throughout the investigation no statistically significant data was found between violence and the other abalyzed variables. Even so, the male gender obtained higher rates of violence, such as in the participants who attended only the first year of school. Having age in consideration, older adults up to seventy years old had the highest mean values, with the lowest averages belonging to the group over eighty years old. Elder abuse is an issue that must be addresses as they are often overlooked. It is believed that training all the professionals and psychoeducation near the families of those individuals and with themselves are essential future practices.
