“…35 Despite this, we have not found a relationship between functional alteration and abuse behavior, confirming the results obtained in previous studies. 6,37 Regarding caregiver's characteristics, results showed a positive relationship between the number of daily caregiving hours and risk of abuse, while a previous quality relationship (good or very good) had a negative relationship. Previous studies support these results showing that gender is not associated with the risk of abuse.…”

Introduction: Elder abuse is among the major social health problems in today`s communities, and has significant effect on decreasing the health and security level in this group. The current study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of abuse among the elderly in Kashan, Iran. Materials and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 500 people over 60 years old in Kashan, Iran in 2014. Subjects were randomly selected from 10 healthcare centers of Kashan. Data were collected using elder abuse questionnaire. Cronbach alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was determined as 0.975. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 13. Pearson correlation coefficient and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. The statistically significant level was P<0.05. Results: Results of the current study showed that 80% of subjects have experienced at least one type of abuse during the last year. The highest rate of abuse was in the form of financial abuse (45.6%), and the lowest was in ostracizing (16.6%). There was a statistical significant relationship between the elder abuse and variables such as sex, age, number of children, marital status, living arrangement, residential situation, home properties, monthly income, insurance situation, illness history, walking ability and using mobility aids. Logistic regression analysis also showed significant relationship between the elder abuse and unemployment, living in an apartment, and the age range 71-80 years. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of abuse among the elderly, clarification of this phenomenon is considered as one of the main priorities, which can be achieved only through multidisciplinary approach in the community, and needs cooperation and collaboration of all community members.

“…In a study of 92 caregivers to community-dwelling Chinese older adults in Taiwan, participants with younger age (r = −0.315, p < .01) and higher levels of education (r = 0.219, p < .05) were more likely to perform psychologically abusive behavior [49]. However, a majority of studies did not find the correlation between caregivers’ age and abusive behaviors toward older adults with dementia or cognitive impairment [18,21,52,53]. Similarly, the caregiver’s educational level was also not related to verbal or physical elder abuse, as shown in Yan et al [19]’s study.…”

“…In the UK, 52% family caregivers reported some abusive behavior and 34% reported abusive behaviors happening “at least sometimes” in the past three months [20]. In Japan, 30% of participants reported some kind of abuse of older adults with clinically mild cognitive impairment [21]. These studies have helped us to understand elder abuse by family caregivers across diverse populations, but we have limited knowledge regarding elder abuse by adult children in the U.S Chinese population [22].…”

Objectives-This study aimed to examine the prevalence and correlates of elder abuse reported by adult children among U.S Chinese populations.Method-A community-based participatory research approach was implemented. A total of 548 Chinese adult children aged 21 years and over participated in this study. Elder abuse reported by adult children was assessed using Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE).Results-This study found a prevalence of 59.8%for elder abuse among 548 adult children. Younger age (r = −0.10, p < .05), higher level of education (r = 0.20, p < .001), higher income (r = 0.14, p < .01), more years in the U.S. (r = 0.12, p < .05), not born in Mainland China (r = −0.13, p < .01), and English-speaking (r = 0.16, p < .001) were positively correlated with elder abuse reported by adult children. Discussion-Elder abuse by adult children is prevalent among U.S. Chinese populations. It is necessary for researchers, health care providers and policy makers to put more attention on elder abuse by adult children. Longitudinal research is needed to explore the risk factors associated with elder abuse by adult children. Health care providers should improve detection of elder abuse and support at-risk caregivers. Policy makers may consider cultural sensitive approaches to address elder abuse.
