RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: to analyze the available evidence in the nursing literature about financial-patrimonial elder abuse. METHOD: integrative review of articles indexed in the databases CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS and MEDLINE, from 2007 to 2017. The combination of controlled and uncontrolled descriptors was used in Portuguese, English and Spanish. RESULTS: 15 studies developed in seven countries were included. In the thematic analysis, three categories emerged: epidemiological data, risk factors and institutions providing services to the elderly. The occurrence of this type of violence concomitantly to the other subtypes was highlighted among the most frequent. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the literature points to important epidemiological data, risk factors and characteristics of this type of violence, including within institutions providing services to the elderly, in different countries, essential aspects for structuring and rethinking public policies for protection and appreciation of the elderly.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze economic-financial and patrimonial cases of elder abuse, recorded in the specialized police station for security and protection of the elderly of a capital city in the northeast region of Brazil. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was carried out with data extracted from police reports and inquiries recorded in the abovementioned police station. Descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out by means of Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: The sample was made up of 555 police reports. The data showed that financial abuse presented a prevalence of 58.9%, and that older elderly people (67.9%), men (70.4%), and single (75.0%) presented a higher percentage of financial abuse compared with other types of violence, often occurring in public places, with 3.1 more chances of occurrence than at the elderly's home. Regarding aggressors, women (73.5%), without suspicion of alcohol use (66.4%), and non-family members committed more financial abuse, evidencing 2.97 more chances of practicing it. CONCLUSION: In the period studied, financial abuse increased in its magnitude when compared with other types of violence, a fact that justifies researching the theme in order to prevent it.

RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar las evidencias disponibles en la literatura de enfermería acerca de la violencia financiero-patrimonial contra ancianos. Método: revisión integradora de los artículos indexados en las bases de datos CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS y MEDLINE desde 2007 a 2017. Se utilizó una combinación de descriptores controlados y no controlados, en portugués, Inglés y Español. Resultados: se incluyeron 15 estudios, desarrollados en siete países. En el análisis temático, surgieron tres categorías: datos epidemiológicos, factores de riesgo e instituciones proveedoras de servicios a los ancianos. Se verificó la ocurrencia de este tipo de violencia de forma concomitante a los otros subtipos, que se destacó entre las más frecuentes. Consideraciones finales: la literatura apunta importantes datos epidemiológicos, factores de riesgo y características de ese tipo de violencia, incluso dentro de las instituciones prestadoras de servicio a ancianos, en diferentes países, aspectos esenciales para estructurar y repensar políticas públicas de protección y valorización de la persona anciana.
