Abstract Objectives: Elder abuse is a stressful event that can lead to compromised psychological and physical health consequences. This study examines the association between elder abuse and telomere length (TL), a biomarker reflecting cellular aging and disease pathogenesis. Methods: Between 2015 and 2016, 1,002 older adults (aged≥55 years) with cognitive impairment were consecutively recruited from the geriatric and neurological departments of three Grade-A hospitals in Guangdong Province of People’s Republic of China. At two-year follow-up, 958 of these participants were reassessed and 600 of them were randomly selected for this study. The outcome variable is TL (measured in blood cells using a multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and the major independent variables were current experience of overall abuse, psychological abuse, physical abuse, caregiver neglect, and previous experience of domestic abuse in the past two years. Potential confounding variables include demographic variables and increased severity of cognitive impairment, neuropsychiatric symptoms, sleep disorders, and depressive symptoms. Results: Multivariate regression models show that current experience of overall domestic abuse (t= -5.116, β= -0.376, confidence interval[CI] -20.231–-9.006), psychological abuse (t= -4.431, β= -0.231, [CI] -13.023–-5.023), physical abuse (t= -2.474, β= -0.151, CI -14.116–-1.621), and caregiver neglect were associated with shorter TL (t= -4.470, β= -0.185, CI -10.457–-4.072). Other predictors of shorter TL were previous experience of domestic abuse and increased severity of depression. Discussion: Both current and previous experiences of elder abuse are associated with shorter TL. Multidisciplinary efforts were needed to prevent and intervene elder abuse.

Abstract Objectives: Considering the rapidly increasing older population, elder abuse has become a major public health problem. Using longitudinal data, this study examines the impact of elder abuse on subsequent cognitive deterioration. Methods: At baseline, one-thousand-and-two older adults (aged≥55 years) with a clinically valid diagnosis of mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment were consecutively recruited from the geriatric and neurological departments of three Grade-A hospitals in Guangdong Province of People’s Republic of China from 2015 to 2016 and 958 of them have completed the present follow-up study after two years. The major independent variables were psychological abuse, physical abuse, caregiver neglect, and financial exploitation experienced at baseline. The outcome variable was cognitive deterioration defined by repeated measures using the Mini-Mental State Examination. Covariates included demographic characteristics, neuropsychiatric symptoms, depression, and IADL impairment. Results: According to the mixed-effect model, elder abuse at baseline did not have significant association with baseline cognitive impairment. However, experience of physical abuse (coefficient 0.11; 95% CI 0.06-0.15), psychological abuse (coefficient 0.28; 95% CI 0.09-0.47), and caregiver neglect (coefficient 0.03; 95% CI 0.01-0.05) at baseline predicted greater cognitive deterioration over the two-year observation period. Other contributing factors for greater cognitive deterioration included neuropsychiatric symptoms and depression. Discussion: Although no significant cross-sectional association between elder abuse and cognitive impairment was observed, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and caregiver neglect at baseline was found to have a long-term prominent effect on subsequent cognitive deterioration over the two-year observation period.

Abstract Background Elder abuse is a global public health and human rights problem that is predicted to increase as many countries experience a rapid growth in their population of older adults. Elder abuse undermines an older person’s well-being and is associated with a range of serious health consequences. In institutional care settings, older residents are particularly vulnerable and hence at higher risk of being abused, but few countries have explored the extent and nature of this phenomenon in national studies. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of observed and perpetrated staff-to-resident abuse in Norwegian nursing homes. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional exploratory study of nursing staff in 100 randomly drawn Norwegian nursing homes. Nursing staff completed a pen and paper survey measuring how often during the past year they had observed staff commit acts of neglect and psychological, physical, financial/material, and sexual abuse towards residents. They also reported how often they had perpetrated acts of abuse themselves, and these rates were disaggregated by nursing staff’s gender, age and education. Results Of 3693 nursing staff (response rate 60.1%), 76% had observed one or more incidents of elder abuse during the past year, and 60.3% reported they had perpetrated one or more incidents of abuse in the same period. Psychological abuse and neglect were most commonly reported. Male staff reported more acts of physical abuse, while female staff reported more acts of neglect. Higher education of staff was associated with higher rates of self-reported psychological abuse, physical abuse and neglect. Conclusions This first national survey of staff in Norwegian nursing homes is one of the largest studies globally estimating the prevalence of elder abuse in institutional settings. Overall, we found staff-to-resident abuse to be relatively common, and our findings propose a need for preventive strategies to improve the quality of life and safety of residents in Norwegian nursing homes.

Members of the athlete medical/sport science support team must be confident that athletes are benefitting from treatment, and that they are not victims of medical mismanagement. Athletes must not be treated differently to any other patient in society. This chapter discusses why protection of the child athlete is necessary, and how child athletes can be subjected to psychological abuse, which may form the gateway to other types of abuse. These can include physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect, all of which are prevalent in all sports and at all levels. It also covers particularly vulnerable groups of child athletes, including the elite, the disabled, and the LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual) athlete populations. It covers the many sport organizations working in the field of child athlete protection, as well as the existing statutes governing the rights and freedoms of children in sport.

OBJECTIVES: One of the study objectives was to explore the prevalence of elder abuse and neglect in the country.METHOD: Total of 960 respondents aged 65 years and above (44.7% of male and 55.3%) in private households, from all eight statistical regions participated in the study. Respondents were sampled through three staged national representative sampling procedure. Data were collected using a cognitively validated questionnaire for investigating elder abuse and neglect (psychological abuse, physical abuse, physical injury; financial abuse; sexual abuse and neglect) and Geriatric Depression Scale. The MMSE test was used as a pre-selection method. Statistical significance was set up at p < 0.05.RESULTS: Three hundred seven (32.0%) respondents reported experience of any type of abuse and neglect.  A single form of abuse was reported by 56.4% of participants, and two types of abuse by 27.4% of participants reporting abuse. Data showed that psychological abuse was the most prevalent form of abuse (25.7%), followed by financial abuse (12.0%), physical abuse (5.7%), physical injury (3.1%) and sexual abuse, and reported only by females (1.3%). Some type of neglect was reported by 6.5% of respondents.CONCLUSIONS: Defining the phenomenon of elder abuse and neglect in the context of our country can facilitate support of abused older people and, most importantly, may help develop policy and programmes based on evidence-based practices, targeting prevention and response.

This article deals with the problem of sibling violence in childhood. According to the data, children are particularly often the victims of physical and psychological abuse from their brothers and sisters. However, this topic is relatively rarely discussed in Polish sociological and psychological literature. Among other reasons, there is a tendency to perceive violence between children as irrelevant and as an unavoidable element of childhood. The author has three purposes. First, she presents the state of expertise on sibling violence. Second, she presents data obtained from the Empowering Children Foundation on how many children report sibling violence to the Helpline and thus illustrates the scale of the phenomenon in Poland. Third, she attempts to show how the experience of sibling violence in childhood is reflected in the stories adults recount in regard to their biographies and their relations with their siblings. Cases are cited that illustrate the various circumstances of physical and psychological violence in sibling relations.

Os dados sobre violência contra o idoso são escassos no Brasil. Para estudos adequados sobre a magnitude, fatores de risco e cuidados às vítimas, é necessária documentação sistemática e acurada. Este artigo revisou os instrumentos de rastreamento e avaliação de violência no idoso visando examinar o progresso no contexto internacional e brasileiro. Utilizando as bases de dados MEDLINE, PsycINFO, LILACS, CANE, OVIDs citations e livros de referência, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura para a seleção dos instrumentos. Fez-se, também, um escrutínio dos estudos de psicometria e utilização dos instrumentos, aplicando-se critérios para avaliar a qualidade dos estudos. Dos dezessete instrumentos encontrados, somente a Conflicts Tactics Scale foi adaptada para o Brasil, ainda que para uso em um grupo etário mais jovem. Alguns outros com boas características psicométricas também foram encontrados, como o Caregiver Abuse Screen, Elder Abuse Assessment Tool, Hwalek Sengstok Abuse Screening Test, Indicators of Abuse Screen, Qualcare scale e Vulnerability to Abuse Screening Scale. Ainda assim, de forma geral, há lacunas importantes nos processos de concepção, validação e adaptação desses instrumentos no Brasil e no exterior.
