- Professionals’ perception about the guidebook Violence against the elderly in the family contextPublication . Novo, Rosa; Prada, Ana Raquel Russo; Fernandes, TeresaThe guidebook entitled "Violence against the elderly in the family context: support guide for professionals in the identification and signaling” was developed during the internship and supervision developed of the degree in Social Education at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança in collaboration with the Centre for Assistance to Victims of Domestic Violence in the District of Bragança. This guidebook accomplishes the following objectives: (i) to promote a greater articulation of networking; (ii) to contribute to self and hetero-reflection, in order to better develop professional knowledge and skills for the identification and reporting of violence cases, and (iii) to reaffirm the visibility of the victimization problem of the elderly in the family context. The guidebook is composed of eleven chapters, subject through a rigorous peer-review process and based on scientific and empirical evidences on violence against the elderly. This article has as main objective to analyze the results of the impact of the guidebook, among professionals, to deepen the "meanings" of it. Through the non-probabilistic sampling method, 104 professionals, who directly or indirectly intervene in the family context with the elderly in the district of Bragança, have participated in this study. The instrument used was an online survey drawn up for this purpose, implemented in 2017 after six months of the publication of the guidebook. The results show that, in general, the professionals value the guidebook published, both in terms of professional development and reinforcement of interinstitutional networks. It should also be noted that, only six months after the diffusion of this resource in the district, its impact was positively assessed, although 36,50% of the professionals had a neutral position towards improving their professional practice. However, it is convenient to point out that 56,70% of the surveyed consider this resource to be too theoretical in its organizational category, even though the authors have turned to simple, clear and accessible but substantive language. Another relevant fact worthy of special attention, including in future studies, is the fact that professionals have identified the own victims as an obstacle to the identification and reporting of abuse of elderly people, especially because of their denial, fear, guilt and dependency. The professionals seem to have an ‘outlook’ very focused on the victim, neglecting the contribution of other possible factors in breaking the silence pact that involves the dynamics of domestic violence towards elderly people.professionals.
