O envelhecimento demográfico é um fenómeno mundial com inúmeras repercussões a diversos níveis e do qual decorrem distintas problemáticas, sendo a violência sobre os idosos uma das mais preocupantes. Portugal, país em que se destaca a Região do Alentejo como a mais envelhecida, vive-se este complexo fenómeno, pelo que se coloca com toda a acuidade o desenvolvimento de estudos com o objetivo de conhecer melhor os contornos desta realidade e que permitam empreender medidas que ajudem a melhor lidar com ela. Assim sendo, desenvolveu-se o presente estudo cujos objetivos são caraterizar o fenómeno da violência sobre os idosos, no Alentejo e analisar as representações sociais de violência sobre os idosos, no Alentejo.

Objective: To determine the frequency of falls and identify risk factors in the homes of the elderly under the Home Care Service of a village in Alentejo (Portugal).

The questionnaire consists of open and closed questions, and was based on the Jefferson Area Board for Aging Safety in the Home Assessment; Instrument to Assess the Risk of Falls and Adaptations to Prevent Falls at Home. Results: Of the 23 seniors, 13 were men; the mean age was 85; 10 widowers; 11 live alone; 12 cannot read or write; 17 have experienced falls, loss of balance being the main cause.

Objective: To analyze how social representations of hospital and community care are structured in two groups of nursing students – 1st and 4th years. Method: Qualitative research oriented by the Theory of Social Representations. We used a questionnaire with Free Association of Words. Data were analyzed in the Software IRaMuTeQ 0.6 alpha 3. Results: We applied the method of Descending Hierarchical Classifi cation and obtained four classes. Class 4 has the largest social representation (30.41%) within the corpus. The two organizational axes are nurse and disease/patient in the central core. On the periphery are the care and help related to the nurse and the treatment and prevention associated with the disease. Conclusion: Social representations focus on disease/patient and on the role of nurses in the treatment, prevention, and care. Health promotion and the social determinants of health are absent from the social representations of students.
