ABSTRACT
RESUMO: Objetivo: avaliar a consistência interna de instrumentos utilizados no Brasil para mensuração de situações de violência contra pessoa idosa em dois estados. Método: estudo de corte transversal, desenvolvido com 481 idosos, em duas amostras, estados e recorte temporal diferentes. Foram aplicados dois instrumentos de mensuração de violência contra pessoa idosa. Os dados foram analisados, e a consistência interna entre os itens foi medida pelo coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: o Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test apresentou o coeficiente de α = 0,08 para amostra coletada na Paraíba, enquanto, em Pernambuco, foi α = 0,57. A Conflict Tactics Scale apresentou alta precisão para definição da violência com coeficiente de α = 0,81 e α = 0,80 para as duas amostras. Conclusões: apenas a Conflict Tactics Scale apresentou-se confiável e estável para determinação da violência de natureza física e psicológica entre idosos, contribuindo assim, como uma possibilidade de desvelar o fenômeno.
ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the internal consistency of instruments used in Brazil to measure situations of violence against the elderly in two states. Method: a cross-sectional study with 481 elderly people in two different samples, states, and time periods. Two instruments were used to measure violence against the elderly person. The data was analyzed and the internal consistency between the items was measured by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: the Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test showed a coefficient of α = 0.08 for the sample collected in Paraíba, while in Pernambuco it was α = 0.57. The Conflict Tactics Scale was highly accurate in defining violence, with a coefficient of α = 0.81 and α = 0.80 for the two samples. Conclusions: only the Conflict Tactics Scale turned out to be reliable and stable for determining physical and psychological violence among the elderly, thus contributing as a way of uncovering the phenomenon.
RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar la consistencia interna de instrumentos utilizados en Brasil para medir situaciones de violencia contra ancianos en dos estados. Método: Estudio transversal realizado con 481 ancianos en dos muestras, estados y periodos de tiempo diferentes. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos para medir la violencia contra ancianos. Se analizaron los datos y se midió la consistencia interna entre los ítems mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: el Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test presentó un coeficiente de α = 0,08 para la muestra recogida en Paraíba, mientras que en Pernambuco fue de α = 0,57. La Escala de Tácticas de Conflicto fue altamente precisa en la definición de violencia, con coeficientes de α = 0,81 y α = 0,80 para ambas muestras. Conclusiones: sólo la Escala de Tácticas de Conflicto demostró ser fiable y estable para determinar la violencia física y psicológica entre ancianos, contribuyendo así a desvelar el fenómeno.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The poor health of prisoners in penitentiaries demonstrates a very favorable condition for the spread of the virus. Objective: To revise in the scientific literature the actions carried out by health professionals in prison units to face COVID-19. Method: Scoping review, guided by the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and structured from the acronym Population, Concept, and Context. The searches were carried out in 11 databases, with the inclusion criteria being studies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish; publications in 2019/2020 and available in full. For the selection of studies, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews flowchart was used. A total of 1,624 studies were found, of which 13 were eligible for the review. Results: From the analysis of the studies, two categories emerged: the first, diagnosis/control, which presented as proposed strategies isolation, screening, improvement of basic sanitation, education, social distancing, use of personal protective equipment, reinforcement of ventilation measures and the use of remote connection; and, the second, treatment that encompassed screening, support, and medicalization of the relevant symptoms of the pathology linked to emotional assistance. Conclusion: the analyses carried out indicate the need to develop a standard operating procedure that systematizes assistance, including prevention, diagnosis/control, and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 within the penitentiary system, briefly presenting priority actions to be carried out, emergencies needed and the flow in the services of the care network of the health systems.
