Although Canadian policies support "aging in place," there still will be a number of older adults who will require institutional care in the future. Most research on elder abuse, however, has focused on domestic abuse and has paid less attention to institutional abuse. The purpose of this article is to comprehensively review current research to identify gaps in knowledge and methodological issues in the study of institutional abuse. Overall, 49 studies in English and 20 studies in French were reviewed, and 11 key-informant interviews were conducted with methodological experts. Methodological challenges are addressed in light of the review and interviews.
尽管加拿大的政策支持“原地养老”，但未来仍将有许多老年人需要机构护理。然而，大多数关于虐待老年人的研究都集中在家庭虐待上，而对机构虐待的关注较少。本文的目的是全面回顾当前的研究，以确定机构虐待研究中的知识差距和方法问题。总体而言，共回顾了 49 篇英文研究和 20 篇法文研究，并对方法学专家进行了 11 次关键知情人访谈。根据审查和访谈，解决了方法学方面的挑战。
