Abstract:

This qualitative study aimed to analyze the meanings attributed to family violence against the elderly by professionals in primary health care. A total of 10 health professionals with different backgrounds from a health unit of reference for the elderly care participated, and the data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Taking as reference the Grounded Theory, the data were integrated and organized into categories, subcategories and elements of analysis. The results showed the participants‘ expectation that the family acts as support and protection to the elderly and that family violence is what hurts this principle. The significance of elder abuse was found to be grounded in the idea “of the frail and dependent”, limiting the viewing of cases that do not fit this profile.
