The purpose of this study was to establish the feasibility and utility of screening for elder mistreatment in a dental clinic population. We approached older adults in a busy dental clinic and enrolled 139 persons over the age of 65 who completed an Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI), which included the Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test (HS-EAST). Overall, 48.4% of the participants scored 3 or greater on the HS-EAST, and 28.3% scored 4 or greater. Our study suggests that there is an opportunity to screen in busy dental clinics and to facilitate early detection for those patients who screen positive for elder mistreatment.
本研究旨在确定在牙科诊所人群中筛查老年虐待的可行性和实用性。我们接触了一家繁忙的牙科诊所的老年人，并招募了 139 名年龄在 65 岁以上的参与者，他们完成了音频计算机辅助自我访谈（ACASI），其中包括 Hwalek-Sengstock 老年虐待筛查测试（HS-EAST）。总的来说，48.4%的参与者在 HS-EAST 上得分为 3 或更高，28.3%的参与者得分为 4 或更高。我们的研究表明，在繁忙的牙科诊所进行筛查是有机会的，并为那些筛查出老年虐待阳性的患者提供早期检测的机会。
