- Abstract
Objective: To reveal forms of domestic violence experienced by older people with impaired functional capacity. Methods: This descriptive, exploratory study, using a qualitative approach guided by the oral history method, analyzed forms of violence. The oral histories told by older adults were used to identify the relationship between violence and dependence on someone else. The content analysis proposed by Bardin was used as a technique of systematic and objective analysis to describe the contents of the messages to categorize the data. Results: Oral histories reveal that older adults are aware of the fact that their dependence on other people exposes them to situations of violence, expressed as negligence, psychological abuse and misappropriation of assets. Conclusion: The expression of domestic violence experienced by older adults with impaired functional capacity was revealed, which indicates a relationship between depending on other people and suffering domestic violence.
