“…According to Smith, Dalen [48], a score of 1.00-2.99 indicates low resilience, 3.00-4.30 Normal resilience, and 4.31-500 indicates high resilience. Resilience has been cited as potential protective factor against both ACE [49,50] and elder abuse [51,52]. vi) Social Support: The interview included a brief form (11-item) of the Duke Social Support Index (DSSI) [53].…”

Objectives Childhood adversity has been linked with later victimization of young and middle-aged adults, but few studies have shown persistence of this effect among elders, especially outside of North America. This research examined the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and elder abuse among older adults aged 60 years and over in Malaysia. Design Cross sectional data were collected via face-to-face interview from June to August 2019. Setting Eight government community health clinics in Kuala Pilah, a district in Negeri Sembilan state approximately 100km from Malaysian capital city Kuala Lumpur. Participants Older adults aged 60 years and above (N = 1984; Mean age 69.2, range 60–93 years) attending all eight government health clinics in the district were recruited for a face-to-face interview about health and well-being. Measurement The Adverse Childhood Experience International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) were utilized to estimate childhood adversity and elder abuse respectively. Results Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between the number of cumulative ACEs and elder abuse. Compared to older adults with no self-reported adversity, those reporting three ACEs (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.84,3.87) or four or more ACEs (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.16, 2.48) had higher risk of any elder abuse occurrence since age 60 years. The effect was most prominent for financial and psychological elder abuse. The associations persisted in multivariate logistic regression models after adjusting for sociodemographic and health factors. Conclusion Early life adversities were significantly associated with victimization of older adults. Social and emotional support to address elder abuse should recognize that, for some men and women, there is a possibility that vulnerability to maltreatment persisted throughout their life course.

“…Resilience is correlated with anxiety, depression, and pain intensity, such that higher resilience corresponds to lower anxiety, depression, and pain intensity [20,21]. Additionally, we find that suspicion of abuse has significant correlations with depression, pain intensity, and resilience [20,21]. Namely, higher depression and pain intensity correspond to higher older adults' abuse suspicion, while higher resilience corresponds to lower older adults' abuse suspicion [20,21].…”

“…Finally, resilience in our study is operationally defined as "personal qualities that enable one to thrive in the face of adversity" [36, p. 76]. Results showed that all the PROMIS health subscales are significantly correlated with each other [20,21]. Resilience is correlated with anxiety, depression, and pain intensity, such that higher resilience corresponds to lower anxiety, depression, and pain intensity [20,21].…”

“…Preliminary studies suggest that experiencing abuse exacerbates the risks for health indicators, resilience, social support, and technology use a psychosocial impact on the healthspan of older adults [20,21]. It is imperative to determine the socio-behavioral mechanisms that account for older adult's health disparities related to their experiences of abuse, resilience, technology use, and social support.…”

Issue AddressedPhilippine contact centres are rife with factors that contribute to work‐related stress; health promotion strategies are needed to mitigate the impacts. With a transactional framework with the environment, this study examined the relationship of stress with resilience and the presence of urban green spaces (UGS) in the environment, while accounting for individual characteristics (ie, age, household income, exercise frequency).MethodsParticipants include employees (Stage 1 N = 186; Stage 2 N = 89) from six contact centres in the capital region of the Philippines. A two‐stage online survey included standardised instruments to measure stress (10‐item Perceived Stress Scale) and resilience (Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale), customised questions to gather demographic information and probe on participants' insights. Google Earth Pro was used for satellite mapping of UGS, followed by on‐site ocular inspection.ResultsParticipants' average stress level was categorised as high; primary stressors included client demands and workload. The objectively measured percentages of UGS in the study sites' vicinity were categorised as low. Participants found UGS visible after careful observation, and majority were aware of UGS in their workplace vicinity. Resilience, household income and awareness of UGS in the vicinity significantly predicted stress levels.ConclusionContact centre workers experienced high stress levels and their workplaces had little accessible UGS. Resilience, household income and awareness of UGS are significant contributors to stress levels.So What?Health promotion in Philippine contact centres could consider strategies that include building resilience, enhancing income security and promoting the awareness of UGS within the workplace vicinity.
