The responsibility of identifying elder mistreatment (EM) often falls on the healthcare professional. Many different screening and assessment instruments have been developed to aid healthcare professionals in making determinations about EM. The purpose of this article is to review existing EM screening and assessment instruments to examine progress in this field. The value and limitations of these instruments with regard to their use in different clinical and healthcare settings are discussed. The settings in which EM screening and assessment are conducted are also considered. The authors conclude that there is much to be done in terms of achieving consensus on what constitutes an appropriate screen or assessment instrument for detecting EM. Effort must be focused on instruments that can be used for brief, rapid screenings and those that can be used for more-detailed diagnostic assessments.

A systematic review found that nearly a quarter of vulnerable older people reported significant levels of psychological abuse; studies using rater observation measures recorded lower rates (Cooper et al ., 2008).…”

In Australia, there is limited consensus between older people, carers and health professionals regarding what constitutes elder abuse. Health professionals were more likely to identify abusive and potentially abusive strategies correctly than carers or healthy older people, but nonetheless between one quarter and two-fifths [correction made here after initial online publication] of health professionals did not identify the abusive strategies.

“…Recent reports show few medical settings and social agencies have standard training, reporting, response procedures or policies to assess and treat elderly abuselneglect (Douglass and Ruby-Douglass, 1980;Rathbone-McCuan and Voyles, 1982). Now health care professionals have begun to develop and experiment with techniques to identify cases of abuse and to respond on a professional level (Johnson, 1981). Now health care professionals have begun to develop and experiment with techniques to identify cases of abuse and to respond on a professional level (Johnson, 1981).…”

This paper describes a protocol for an integrated response by health care professionals to the problem of elder abuse. Standard training, reporting, and response procedures have been emphasized in order to assess and treat elderly abuse/neglect. The protocol consists of guidelines for interviewing the elderly patient and caregiver separately; and suggests interventions which are both direct and indirect, for use in the home, in a hospital emergency room, in an outpatient clinic or on an inpatient floor. Physical and occupational therapists can provide valuable information for detection and can treat the patient and caregiver educationally to reduce incidences of elderly abuselneglect.
