Older Adult Mistreatment Risk Screening: Contribution to the validation of a Screening Tool in a Domestic Setting

Abstract: The hidden nature of older adult mistreatment renders its detection in the domestic setting particularly challenging. A validated screening instrument that can provide a systematic assessment of risk factors can facilitate this detection. One such instrument, the "expanded Indicators of Abuse" tool, has been previously validated in the Hebrew language in a hospital setting. The present study has contributed to the validation of the "e-IOA" in an English-speaking community setting in Ontario, Canada. It consist… Show more

“…Os 27 itens a serem avaliados, indicativos de características mentais e psicossociais das pessoas idosas e de seus cuidadores familiares, requerem interpretação por parte do profissional que o aplica e por isso sua capacidade de medir precisamente o maltrato tem sido questionada por estudiosos (COHEN et al, 2006;COHEN, 2011;LINDENBACH et al, 2012).
