The cases of abuse against elderly people have been growing significantly throughout the entire world. Among the various forms of abuse, one of the less known and denounced is the domestic negligence. As it occurs mostly inside family and nursing homes, it is hardly identified. This article presents the results of a cross-sectional descriptive/analytical study that pointed out the existing factors potentially associated to domestic negligence towards elderly patients attended by the Elderly Home Care Program as part of the discipline of Geriatrics of the Paulista Medical School, Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil. Interviews were made with 40 familiar caregivers of these patients who had functional disability. The profiles of those patients and their caregivers were identified by questionnaires and the impact on those familiars by the Caregiver Burden Scale. The results revealed the existence of the following factors potentially associated with domestic negligence among elderly people, in the study population: the dimensions general tension and isolation, as well as depression and stress on the caregiver's side, and the elder's functional ability, are the causes that impact the most on caregivers.
在全世界范围内，虐待老年人的案例显著增加。在各种虐待形式中，一种较少为人所知且较少受到谴责的是家庭疏忽。由于这种情况大多发生在家庭和养老院内部，因此很难被发现。本文介绍了一项横断面描述性/分析性研究的结果，该研究指出了与圣保罗联邦大学保罗ista医学院老年医学学科下属的老年家庭护理项目所照料的老年患者遭受家庭疏忽潜在相关的现有因素。对这些有功能障碍患者的40名家庭护理人员进行了访谈。通过问卷调查确定了这些患者及其护理人员的特征，并通过护理人员负担量表确定了对这些家庭成员的影响。结果显示，在研究人群中，存在以下可能与老年人家庭疏忽相关的因素：总体紧张和孤立程度、护理人员的抑郁和压力，以及老年人的功能能力，这些是对护理人员影响最大的因素。
