Background and Aim: Caregivers in the home environment have an important role in timely detecting and responding to abuse. The aim of this review was to provide insight into both the existing tools for the assessment of and interventions for elder abuse by formal and informal caregivers in the home environment, and to categorize them according to a public health perspective, into primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary prevention. Methods: We selected the assessment tools and interventions that can be used by caregivers in the home environment included in previous reviews by Gallione et al (2017) and Fearing et al (2017). To identify published studies after these reviews, a search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane Database, CINAHL and Web of Science. Results: In total, fifteen assessment tools and twelve interventions were included. The number of assessment tools for elder abuse for use in the home environment is increasing; however, tools must be validated over different cultures and risk groups. In addition, the tools lack attention for the needs of vulnerable older persons such as persons with dementia. Existing interventions for caregivers in the home environment lack evidence for addressing elder abuse and do not address potential adverse effects (quaternary prevention). Conclusion: Assessment tools for elder abuse need further testing for validity and reliability for use by caregivers in the home environment. For interventions, meaningful outcome measures are needed. Important to note is that quaternary prevention requires more attention. This argues for taking into account perspectives of (abused) older persons and caregivers in the development of assessment tools and interventions protocols.

“…Os estudos foram realizados em países desenvolvidos, com práticas de profissionais e cuidadores domiciliares vinculados aos serviços de saúde e de assistência social. Segundo a maioria dos estudos [13][14][15][16][17] , alguns idosos não são capazes de realizar atividades básicas de vida diária sozinhos, como comer ou ir ao banheiro, ou seja, são indivíduos dependentes de cuidado. Além disso, o abuso de idosos é um problema que cresceu ao longo de décadas no mundo e que continua crescendo à medida que a população mundial envelhece de 35 milhões para uma previsão de 72 milhões até 2030 27 .…”

“…O instrumento de rastreamento é promissor para detectar os tipos de cuidados aos idosos e facilitar que os profissionais de saúde que prestam atendimento domiciliar, com o tempo, desenvolvam vínculos com o paciente e suas famílias. Fazer várias visitas durante um período torna a Qualcare Scale uma ferramenta viável para ser implementada na prática da AD 13 .…”
