“…Thus, a minimal level of cognitive ability would seem to be a prerequisite for adequately caring for another person. Although poor caregiver physical health and functional limitations have been cited as factors in elder abuse (e.g., Goodrich, 1997;Wolf, 1996), how caregiver cognitive status, in particular, may influence the quality of care elders receive has not been determined in empirical studies.…”

“…These efforts have resulted in a consensus that substantial proportions of caregivers of impaired elders are subject to elevated levels of depressive symptoms (e.g., Baumgarten et al, 1992;Bodnar & Kiecolt-Glaser, 1994;Bookwala, Yee, & Schulz, 2000;Dura, Stukenberg, & Kiecolt-Glaser, 1991;Schulz et al, 1995;Schulz, Visintainer, & Williamson, 1990). Moreover, depressed caregivers are more likely to be abusive (e.g., Goodrich, 1997;Paveza et al, 1992;Williamson et al, 2001).…”

The association between caregiver cognitive status and potentially harmful caregiver behavior was assessed in a sample of 180 caregiver-care recipient dyads. Compromised cognitive status was identified in 39% of these informal caregivers. Beyond variance explained by demographic factors, amount of care provided, care recipient cognitive status, and caregiver depressed affect, care recipients reported more frequently being subjected to potentially harmful caregiver behavior when their caregivers evidenced compromised cognitive status. While preliminary, critical areas of caregiver cognition appeared to be deficits in language comprehension and memory. Results indicate that compromised cognitive status is common among informal caregivers of impaired elders and that this may adversely influence the quality of care they provide.

“…Instruments that exist for the assessment of elder abuse can be divided into two categories: (1) instruments that screen for elder abuse (for a review see Fulmer, Guadagno, Bitondo-Dyer, & Connolly, 2004) and (2) instruments that assess future risk of elder abuse (Goodrich, 1997). Instruments in the former category were developed to aid detection, assessment, and intervention in cases of elder abuse (Ansell & Breckman, 1988).…”

“…Such screening measures are integral to the development of intervention strategies and management plans for both the victim and the perpetrator (Fulmer et al, 2004). Instruments in the latter category were developed to evaluate risk for the perpetration of elder abuse (Goodrich, 1997). Anetzberger and colleagues, for example, developed the Screening Tools and Referral Protocol for Stopping Abuse Against Older Ohioans: A Guide for Service Providers (STRP; Bass, Anetzberger, Ejaz, & Nagpaul, 2001).…”

“…There are currently no published reliability or validity data on the STRP. Similarly, reporting results of a study that identified 18 states that use instruments that describe level of risk for future elder abuse, Goodrich (1997) commented that the states generally do not have the resources to develop reliable and valid risk assessment measures. The ethics of using instruments for which reliability and validity are unknown are questionable at best (American Psychological Association, 2002;Heilbrun, 1992).…”

Gray, black, and blue: the state of research and intervention for intimate partner abuse among elders

Though not as common as in younger populations, intimate partner abuse (IPA) among elders is a significant and often overlooked problem. In this article, we focus on problems for research and intervention. We begin with a brief review of the phenomena of elder abuse and IPA, highlighting problems resulting from definitional issues and inconsistencies in research methodology. The balance of the paper comprises a discussion of problems for intervention. Drawing from the IPA and elder abuse literatures, risk factors unique to IPA among elders are presented, and limitations of existing screening and risk assessment instruments for use within this context are identified. The focus then shifts to legal considerations when working with elders who have experienced or perpetrated IPA. Our goals are to synthesize the elder abuse and IPA literatures, identify limitations within both, and to reflect upon the state of knowledge regarding IPA among elders.

Interventions for preventing abuse in the elderly

Background Maltreatment of older people (elder abuse) includes psychological, physical, sexual abuse, neglect and financial exploitation. Evidence suggests that 10% of older adults experience some form of abuse, and only a fraction of cases are actually reported or referred to social services agencies. Elder abuse is associated with significant morbidity and premature mortality. Numerous interventions have been implemented to address the issue of elder maltreatment. It is, however, unclear which interventions best serve to prevent or reduce elder abuse. Objectives The objective of this review was to assess the e ectiveness of primary, secondary and tertiary intervention programmes used to reduce or prevent abuse of the elderly in their own home, in organisational or institutional and community settings. The secondary objective was to investigate whether intervention e ects are modified by types of abuse, types of participants, setting of intervention, or the cognitive status of older people.
