The purpose of the PURFAM ("potentials and risk factors of family caregiving for older people") project is to support staff members of home care services in preventing elder abuse by facilitating an assessment instrument for early recognition and a standard for action. During a pilot phase of the project nursing staff of home services were presented with training sessions in which the use of the PURFAM assessment was introduced using concrete examples from routine daily work. The article describes the development of the PURFAM assessment and its first evaluation by staff members of nursing home services. The preliminary results indicate a high practicability und acceptance of the instrument by staff members. The sustainability of PURFAM is yet to be tested using the data of the still ongoing main part of the evaluation.
“PURFAM（老年人家庭护理的潜力和风险因素）”项目的目的是通过推动一种用于早期识别的评估工具和一项行动标准，来支持家庭护理服务的工作人员预防虐待老年人行为。在该项目的试点阶段，为家庭服务的护理人员举办了培训课程，其中通过日常工作中的具体实例介绍了PURFAM评估的使用方法。本文描述了PURFAM评估的开发过程及其由养老院服务工作人员进行的首次评估。初步结果表明该工具具有很高的实用性且受到工作人员的认可。PURFAM的可持续性还有待利用评估仍在进行的主要部分的数据进行检验。
