Resumen

La pandemia de COVID-19 es un problema global importante que ha exacerbado las desigualdades estructurales y sociales preexistentes. Existe la preocupación de que la discriminación por edad hacia los adultos mayores se haya intensificado junto con formas elevadas de otros “ismos” como el capacitismo, el clasismo, el heterosexismo, el racismo y el sexismo. Este estudio ofrece una revisión sistemática (PRISMA) de la discriminación por edad hacia los adultos mayores que interactúan con otros ismos durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Se buscaron artículos en 10 bases de datos que dieron como resultado 354 estudios sobre discriminación por edad publicados entre 2019 y agosto de 2022 en inglés, francés, portugués o español. Solo 32 artículos cumplieron con los criterios de elegibilidad (discriminación por edad junto con otros ismos; enfoque en la pandemia de COVID-19); que eran en su mayoría artículos de revisión ( n = 25) con pocos artículos empíricos ( n = 7), que reflejaban casi todos los diseños cualitativos ( n = 6). Los artículos discutieron la discriminación por edad con el racismo ( n = 15), el clasismo ( n = 11), el capacitismo ( n = 9), el sexismo ( n = 7) y el heterosexismo ( n = 2). Los autores representaron numerosas disciplinas (gerontología, medicina, enfermería, psicología, trabajo social y sociología) y países ( n = 14) de varios continentes. Los resultados de este estudio subrayan que la discriminación por edad se cruza con otros ismos de maneras profundamente negativas y que las intersecciones entre la discriminación por edad y otros ismos no se han estudiado lo suficiente, lo que requiere más esfuerzos de investigación e intervención.
