Abstract
With the increase in life expectancy and the reduction in the birth rate, in Brazil, as well as in the whole world, there has been an intense process of aging of the population, and the elderly are considered more vulnerable, due to the decrease in the autonomy, as they are exposed to more risk factors, social and family conflicts and violence. Therefore, violence against the elderly is an important public health problem and requires interventions by health professionals, who must receive training for such an approach. Objective: To interpret the experiences of young university students of nursing and medicine courses, from a Brazilian institution in the interior of São Paulo, about violence against the elderly. Method: This is qualitative research, which used Grounded Theory and as a data collection technique, semi-structured interviews with eight students of nursing and medicine courses at an institution in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Data analysis was carried out in the NVIVO software, following the steps proposed by the chosen reference. Results and discussion: Respondents perceive that violence against the elderly has little visibility, reported approaches to the theme, in addition to mentioning the types of violence that the elderly can suffer. They recognized the health needs of the elderly in relation to comprehensive care, interconnecting with thoughts about aging as a natural cause and proposing interventions to reduce this problem. Finally, they exposed their actions if they experience a situation of violence and the possibility of introducing violence against the elderly into the formal curriculum. Conclusion: It showed the poor visibility of the elderly, as well as the need for educational actions and interventions to recognize this condition, being a possible and viable step.
