Abstract:

The objective was to identify and analyze in literature whether and how the theme of violence is approached in the studies of public policies of attention to the elderly housed in nursing homes. An integrative review of the published literature between 2010 and August 2016 was carried out. The bibliographic bases were consulted using the descriptors: \"elderly\", \"public policies\", \"long-term institution for the elderly\", \"asylum\" House of rest \"and\" “nursing homes”, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. A total of 77 articles were analyzed, of which 12 were Brazilian and 65 were foreign, of which 30 werethe United States. The analysis showed that many countries have long-term care policies that govern the modalities of the services that provide them. Only eight articles have addressed the issue of violence within nursing homes in the context of policies to protect the elderly, and affirm that countries in Latin America and Asia need to move ahead with this issue and place the issue of violence against the elderly on the agenda of priorities. No Brazilian article has addressed the issue directly, although it has become clear that institutional neglect and other forms of violence hang over the nursing homes.
