SILVA, Aline da  and  REBUSTINI, Flávio. Psychosocial instruments for brazilian elderly: a scoping review. Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.2, pp.703-738.  Epub Aug 31, 2021. ISSN 1645-0086.  https://doi.org/10.15309/21psd220231.

This study aimed to map and categorize the psychosocial assessment instruments, with available psychometric evidence, for elderly Brazilians. Through a scoping review, 5.258 studies were identified and after applying the eligibility criteria, 237 studies were included for analytical synthesis. Part of the extracted data was presented in four blocks: Review identifiers (information about the studies); Population (information about the participants); Psychosocial Instruments (organized by categories); Psychometric properties (type of evidence). 192 instruments were highlighted, which were organized into five subcategories, being “Anxiety, Depression and Stress”, “Physical Activity, Ability to Work and Mobility”, “Intelligence and Cognition”, “Health, Well-Being and Quality of Life” and “Geriatric’s Syndromes and Violence”. This study does not exhaust the alternatives of instruments available to elderly Brazilians, but allows a broader view, gathering in a single source, evidence that can generate reflection and add to the research and practice of all those interested in the theme.

Keywords : instruments; evaluation; elderly; psychosocial; scoping review.
