Abstract

We analyzed the discriminative capacity of several risk factors for elder abuse and neglect, in order to identify what characteristics distinguish between caregivers with a high or low risk of abuse and neglect. Forty-five caregivers of relatives with dementia participated. The combination of caregiving impact, frequency of aggressive behaviors by care-recipients, stress related to provocative and aggressive behaviors, the frequency of provocative behaviors, interpersonal burden, autoefficiency expectations, quantity of help received and depression classify correctly as risk factors in 90.9% of the cases. This study permits us to identify what characteristics distinguish between caregivers with a high or low risk of abuse and neglect and caregivers.

摘要

我们分析了几种虐待和忽视老年人风险因素的判别能力，以确定哪些特征可区分虐待和忽视风险高或低的照料者。45名痴呆症亲属的照料者参与了研究。照料负担、受照料者攻击行为的频率、与挑衅和攻击行为相关的压力、挑衅行为的频率、人际负担、自我效能期望、获得帮助的数量以及抑郁这些因素组合起来，在90.9%的案例中能正确地作为风险因素进行分类。这项研究使我们能够确定哪些特征可区分虐待和忽视风险高或低的照料者与其他照料者。
