There is concern that people with dementia may be at particular risk of elder abuse however there is little data to confirm such fears. This paper presents findings from an up-dated investigation of secondary sources of data about the abuse of older people with dementia in England conducted in 2013. There are many sources of data about poor care, abuse and neglect of people with dementia in care home and hospital settings but these are collected for different purposes and hard to link. The article discusses the ways in which dementia care practitioners may be able to make the most of existing data.
人们担心患有痴呆症的人可能特别容易遭受虐待老人的行为，然而几乎没有数据来证实这种担忧。本文介绍了2013年对英格兰痴呆症老人受虐情况的二手数据进行的最新调查结果。关于养老院和医院环境中痴呆症患者护理不善、受虐和被忽视的情况有很多数据来源，但这些数据是出于不同目的收集的，且难以关联起来。本文讨论了痴呆症护理从业者能够充分利用现有数据的方法。
