Paper Abstract:
Context of this growing problem. Definitions of abuse or mistreatment of the elderly. Physical, psychological, emotional, sexual and financial abuses and neglect. Risk factors for sexual and other abuse. Theoretical explanations regarding causes of elder abuse. Interventions and preventive measures including social services, health care and education with public awareness campaign.
Paper Introduction:
Research regarding the extent of elder abuse is lacking, and research regarding elder sexual abuse is even more sparse. Reports point out that a problem exists and is likely to become worse due to the aging of the world's population. It is stated that research regarding this issue, is where research was 20 years ago, regarding child abuse or violence against women. Population-based studies have found that 4-6% of the elderly are abused in the home and most are at risk from family members. In a U.S. National Elder Abuse Incidence Study, two-thirds of the perpetrators were adult children or spouses. It has also been found that the elderly are abused in nursing homes, hospitals, or other institutions; in one study, 36% of nursing home staff stated that they had witnessed at least one physical abuse incident with an elderly patient (Nelson, 2002).
