Abstract:

Among elderly population, LGBTQIA+ people represent one of the groups most likely to depend on formal care services because of socioeconomic vulnerability. However, the prejudice rooted in society, including health and social care professionals, result in a cis-heteronormative model of care delivery in Long-Term Care Facilities for the Older People (LTC). Objective: To investigate, describe and analyze the scientific production on prejudice against LGBTQIA+ older people in LCT. Method: Scope review with searches in the databases AgeLine, Portal de Periódicos CAPES, SciELO, Portal USP and HeinOnline, with no time limit. Results: Of the 642 initial articles, the sample comprises 31 ed articles. Four categories and 11 subcategories were identified and delimit agents, causes, effects, and solutions found in the research. Conclusion: The lack of preparation of the teams of the LTC and the history of prejudice during life leads the LGBTQIA+ community to fear its institutionalization and to desire a friendly or exclusive environment. The training of LTC teams is essential, in addition to the need to create legislation to protect this population based on population and local surveys.
