“…In addition, sexual minorities among older adults are further affected by stigmatization due to their sexual orientation (R. P. Bonifas, 2015). Similarly, the higher prevalence of chronic illness and other health problems impacting the sexual function of older people may falsely reinforce the social stereotypes of "asexuality" (Heidari, 2016;Traeen et al, 2016). However, there are older adult groups who consider themselves to be effectively asexual and who seem to evidence marked risk factors for erectile dysfunction (e.g., diabetes, hypertension).…”

Significant demographic changes and a growing aging population increasingly emphasize the importance of assessing phenomena of violence against older adults, who constitute a vulnerable population. Therefore, bullying in old age is a poorly studied phenomena, but of growing importance. This study aims to analyze the perspectives of bullying in old age, using qualitative research at a cross-national level. We interviewed 173 older participants aged 65–91 years. Participants were Portuguese and English and lived in the community. Participants were subjected to semi-structured interviews. All the interviews went through a process of content analysis. Sample recruitment occurred through initial telephone contact, followed by a request to participate. Outcomes of content analysis produced seven themes, all of them associated with bullying experiences such as compromised learning capacity, loss of sense of agency and decision-making, asexuality, less attractive appearance, less social skills, gender discrimination, and less financial resources. Portuguese older adults felt mostly bullied for their loss of sense of agency and decision-making, less attractive appearance, less social skills, and less financial resources, while English participants mostly felt bullied for their compromised learning capacity, gender discrimination, and asexuality. The themes identified as being the most prominent in bullying are valuable guidelines for social policies and interventions toward bullying among older adults. Considering the scarcity of studies on bullying in older adults, this study is relevant for understanding the experience of older adults in relation to being bullied and for implementing psychosocial intervention programs including bullying situations that affect community-dwelling older adults.

“…Although, the sexuality of older people is still looking with the stereotyped views of aging and social prejudices that consider older adults asexual or disinterested in sex, growing evidence confirms that sexual desires persist in old age, with older men and women enjoying it more than ever (18)(19) . These studies demonstrate that sexuality remains an important and enduring component of life and should be addressed by nursing care in the elderly.…”

ABSTRACT Aim: To compare the domains of the Multidimensional Model of Successful Aging (MMSA) with the nursing terminologies, such as, NANDA International (NANDA-I), Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), in order to find similarities among them. Method: Cross-mapping between MMSA and nursing terminologies in two stages: individual analysis and comparison between the MMSA and the nursing terminologies, based on the mapping process rules; consensus among researchers to validate the results. Results: All NOC and NIC domains were mapped with similarity in the MMSA domains, and 12 of the 13 NANDA-I domains showed similarity to the MMSA domains. In addition, similarity was identified between MMSA and most classes of the three classifications. Conclusions: The similarity between MMSA, NANDA-I, NIC and NOC supported the idea that the MMSA framework can be used in the nursing process to qualify the nursing practice in the elderly care.

Objetivo: Considerando o crescente envelhecimento populacional e as evidências científicas de que a sexualidade na população idosa não é abordada com frequência nos serviços de saúde, o presente estudo contribui de forma significativa para as práticas de enfermagem. O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar na literatura situações relacionadas à sexualidade dos idosos e, por meio delas, traçar diagnósticos de enfermagem tendo como suporte teórico a North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA 2018-2020). Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura construída a partir de 15 artigos originais selecionados sistematicamente na BVS, SciELO, Pubmed, Lilacs, BDENF, IBECS, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science e Google Scholar. Resultados: Traçou-se 29 diagnósticos distribuídos nos seguintes domínios: Promoção da saúde 3(10,3%); Atividade/repouso 3(10,3%); Percepção/cognição 4(13,9%); Autopercepção 5(17,2%); Papéis e relacionamentos 2(6,9%); Sexualidade 1(3,4%); Enfrentamento/tolerância ao estresse 3(10,3%); Princípios da vida 2(6,9%); Segurança/proteção 4(13,9%) e Conforto 2(6,9%). O domínio “Autopercepção”, foi o domínio que apresentou mais evidências nos estudos. Isso nos faz refletir sobre o poder que cada indivíduo detém, adquirido por meio da evolução de toda conjuntura político-social, que em diversas épocas moldam as suas crenças, atitudes e comportamentos. Conclusão: Chama-se a atenção da enfermagem que deve estar atenta com mais profundidade aos aspectos que permeiam a subjetividade e os valores pessoais dos idosos e, por meio desse estudo, haverá o direcionamento e a facilitação da assistência frente à sexualidade desse grupo etário.
