“…Another important data identified in the study was the occurrence of violence against older women. Although women play the role of caregivers even in old age and live longer than men, they weaken more, needing attention and care, generating demands on the family 29,30 . The constant exposure of older women to situations of direct and indirect violence produces a sickening context of life, reducing their years of life 30 .…”

Resumo Objetivo Analisar o risco direto e indireto da violência intrafamiliar contra a pessoa idosa, na cidade de Manaus, AM, Brasil. Método Estudo epidemiológico de base populacional, quantitativo, de natureza transversal, descritivo e analítico, desenvolvido em seis zonas urbanas dessa cidade, no período de novembro de 2019 a abril de 2021. A amostra foi composta por 2.280 pessoas idosas, utilizando-se margem de erro de 5% e Coeficiente de Confiança de 95%. Utilizou-se o Instrumento Hawlek Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test (H-S/EAST), adaptado para o Brasil. Resultados 67,4% eram mulheres, idade média de 69 anos (± 6,9), 48,6% casados e 79,9% ganhavam menos que dois salários mínimos; 73,6% dividiam as despesas da casa e 60,9% corresidiam com filhos e netos; identificou-se que 99,8% sofreram violência (direta e indireta) e 88,8% estão constantemente em elevado risco para algum tipo de violência; 44,7% não têm alguém que lhes faça companhia; 95,3% sustentam alguém; 66% sentem-se tristes ou sós; 42,6% relatam uso excessivo de bebida alcoólica por familiares; 45,8% foram recentemente magoados ou machucados por familiares. As mulheres e os mais longevos foram os mais violentados. Conclusão evidenciou-se que a experiência da corresidência intergeracional trouxe à tona a realidade da violência intrafamiliar praticada contra as pessoas idosas, presente em 99,8% dos entrevistados, ligados, principalmente, à negligência, omissão e abuso financeiro. Os entrevistados foram capazes de apontar problemas originados dos relacionamentos intrafamiliares, possivelmente proveniente da ausência de um melhor vínculo afetivo, que os colocam em situação de violência direta e indireta.

“…Depending on their age and health condition, this commitment can increase vulnerability to developing illnesses caused by the meticulous attention to the well-being, health, nutrition, personal hygiene, education, culture, recreation, and leisure of the person being assisted. In other words, the caregiver is the individual who provides care to someone in need 1 .…”

Objective To identify caregivers' understanding of healthcare assistance received from primary health care regarding their own health. Method A qualitative study based on Alfred Schütz's phenomenology was conducted. The approach to caregivers of bedridden older adults was carried out by community health agents within their coverage area in a primary health care unit located in the northern region of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The choice of location was convenience-based. Data collection took place between September and December 2022 in households. A questionnaire containing questions about the participants' sociodemographic profile, along with six phenomenological questions to understand the typical experiences of each caregiver of older adults and their intentionality, was administered. Data were analyzed using phenomenological methods. Results Sixteen caregivers of bedridden older adults participated, with fifteen being female, fifteen having a family relationship with the care recipient, and fifteen lacking training qualifying them for the caregiver role. 37.5% of caregivers were aged 61 years or older. Regarding the typical experiences, the following categories emerged from the participants' narratives: 1- Physical, emotional, and social impacts on the caregiver's health; 2- Need for qualification; 3- Support from the healthcare team, with a subcategory: 3.1- Absence of medical and/or nursing professionals. Conclusion It was understood that caregivers are invisible and do not receive healthcare assistance from the healthcare team for their own health. When home visits occur, professionals focus on attending to the older adult, fragmenting the assistance that should be extended to the needs of the family community, including the caregiver.

“…Unpreparedness and lack of care skills (16,17) hinder the transition to adopt the caregiver role (18,19). Various sources point out that FCs describe care as a complex task that generates stress and physical and mental exhaustion, given the uncertainty about eventual complications that may arise while providing care (20,21).…”

Introduction: Nursing professionals develop situation-specific theories to describe, explain, and provide comprehensive care during a family member’s transition to the caregiver role. Objective: To develop a situation-specific theory about the transition to the role of family caregiver of older adults after a stroke. Methodology: The integrating approach by Meleis and Im was applied, which consists of five stages: 1) Description of the context and target population, 2) Verification of assumptions regarding the philosophical stance, 3) Exploration of multiple sources, 4) Theorization of concepts, and 5) Proposal of empirical indicators for validation and verification. Results: The prescriptive theory was developed in the light of Afaf Meleis’ Theory of Transitions and was supported by an exhaustive literature review, with four underlying concepts: Situational transition to the family caregiver role, Care-related knowledge and skills, Self-confidence and coping in adopting the caregiver role, and Nursing therapeutic education. The following assumption emerges from these concepts: a healthy transition to the family caregiver role is directly dependent on the care-related knowledge and skills provided by Nursing therapeutic education to develop self-confidence and coping in adopting the caregiver role. Conclusions: The proposal provides a conceptual framework that identifies the transition challenges and needs faced by family caregivers to adopt the role of caregivers of older adults after a stroke.
