- Abstract
Objective: To describe forensic nursing care for older adults in situations of violence. Methods: This is a scoping review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations. The searches took place in 15 databases, including studies published between 1990 and 2019 in English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. For study selection, the flow diagram Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyzes extension for Scoping Reviews was used; 17,378 studies were found, of which 19 articles were eligible for review. Results: Nursing care for older adults in situations of violence is dynamic and varies across continents. Nurses investigate the case through clinical assessment, denounce the authorities, register, notify and activate the multidisciplinary team. Conclusion: Using diversified strategies, nurses work with the objective of solving the problem of elder abuse, even if they encounter difficulties.
