Resumo

Background: Violence against the elderly is an important public health problem, and permeates the ability of health professionals to conduct the case. Objective: What is the importance of formal and non-formal education for health professionals in identifying and acting in the face of situations of violence against elderly women?  Method: This is a qualitative, exploratory research whose data collection instrument is a semi-structured questionnaire. The research participants are 34 health professionals (geriatricians and gerontologists) from the state of Paraná/Brazil.  Results: The lack of an educational formation (formal or non-formal), aimed at health professionals, generates discomfort and difficulty in conducting cases in which violence against elderly women is observed. Conclusion: It is emphasized the urgency in the development of public policies for the education and protection of elderly women, and training and qualification actions for health professionals, so that these moral patients have their dignity and human rights preserved.
