“…However, with the exponential increase of these cases, the outcomes were brought to the health environment and ratified as a public health problem. Concerning the prevalence of these cases worldwide, the results are observed to be heterogeneous, as shown by studies in Iran (90.4%) (3) , Croatia (21.4%) (4) , and Brazil (10%) (5) .…”

Objective:To analyze the risk of violence associated to functional capacity and sociodemographic characteristics of hospitalized elderly. Method: Quantitative, crosssectional, multicenter study conducted with elderly receiving care at university hospitals of the municipalities of João Pessoa and Campina Grande, in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. The scales Katz and Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test were applied. The data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using Chi-squared Pearson test, Spearman correlation test, and multiple logistic regression. Results: The participating elderly amounted to 323. The risk of violence was predominant among female elders aged 60 to 70 who are unable to read or write, live with someone, perform no labor activity, and whose income is higher than a minimum wage. Elders who were dependent for basic and instrumental activities presented a 2.11 score (Confidence Interval = 1.22-3.64; p = 0.000) and 1.70 (1.01-2.85; p = 0.044) and a higher risk of violence. Conclusion: Elders who depended on other people to perform both complex and basic activities are the most exposed to situations of violence.

“…Moreover, IPV victims also have trouble accessing health care, have low hopes of receiving help, and believe that abuse symptoms are rarely taken seriously (Alhalal, 2020). As nurses spend the most time with frontline patients, they are ideally suited to identify abuse victims and be their first point of contact (Machado et al., 2020). Healthcare settings might allow victims to confide in a trusted person, and, as patient advocates, nurses should be educated to identify and assist DVA survivors (Stewart et al., 2021).…”

AimTo explore the practices, understanding, and experiences of nurses and nursing students about domestic violence and abuse in Saudi Arabia.BackgroundDomestic violence and abuse is a well‐known public health issue and a clear violation of human rights resulting in detrimental effects on women's health.IntroductionSocietal and cultural barriers in Saudi Arabia limit women's rights and disclosure of violence within marriage and families, preventing access to health care and support. There are few reports of this phenomenon in Saudi Arabia.MethodsWe used a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to acquire in‐depth insights into nurses’ perceptions and experiences regarding domestic violence and abuse. Eighteen nurses and student nurses were recruited from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using convenience sampling. Data were gathered between October 2017 and February 2018 through in‐depth semistructured interviews, organized using NVivo 12 and analyzed manually to identify consistent themes. This study adhered to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research.FindingsAn overarching concept of “being disempowered” was identified, which was present at three levels: a lack of nurses’ professional preparation, insufficient organizational structures and processes, and wider social and cultural components.ConclusionThis study provides an in‐depth account of nurses’ practices, understanding, and experiences of domestic violence and abuse, highlighting the sensitivity and difficulties of addressing the problem in hospitals across Saudi Arabia and potentially other similar countries.ImplicationsThe study's findings will inform the development of nursing education and practice in Saudi Arabia, as well as pave the way toward formulating effective strategies with needed modifications in curriculum, organizations, policy, procedures, and laws.
