The present study aims to identify in the literature the use of educational and social technologies to prevent violence against the elderly. This is an integrative literature review, carried out in the databases BDENF, LILACS, MEDLINE and SCIELO, July-August 2020, in pairs, considering the ten-year time frame in Portuguese, English and Spanish. To formulate the search strategy, controlled and uncontrolled health descriptors were used, combined with each other through the Boolean operators AND and OR. 999 articles were found, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a sample of 11 was obtained. From the analysis of the studies, two thematic categories emerged: Revealed Technologies and Technology Prospecting. Principles of Wanda de Aguiar Horta's theory were adopted in the discussion. Of the technologies revealed, it was found that care technologies predominated with a focus on changes arising from senescence and senility. From prospecting, it was found that educational and social technologies are presented as instruments of information, education, the possibility of expanded care and behavioral changes. It was concluded that there is a shortage of educational and social technologies aimed at preventing violence against the elderly, which raises the need for the production of such technologies and the publication of studies with this theme.
