OBJECTIVES
This pilot study describes implementation procedures of goal attainment scaling (GAS) and examines the feasibility of using GAS to measure the multifarious intervention outcome of case resolution in elder mistreatment (EM) adult protective services (APS).
METHODS
Substantiated EM victims (n = 27) were recruited prospectively from the State of Maine APS. An adapted GAS approach was implemented involving development of a pre-populated goal scale menu and web-based GAS application.
RESULTS
The GAS menu comprised 18 goals and corresponding scales spanning several domains of case resolution: social support, service access, health/functioning, enhancing independence, and protective measures. The overall GAS process had mean length 33.8 min per case. The mean GAS summary t-score (54.3) aligned with theoretical expectations.
DISCUSSION
Without a measure of case resolution, research cannot compare the effectiveness of different EM intervention models. Findings suggest that GAS is a feasible, client-centered strategy to measure the multifarious EM intervention case resolution outcome.
目的
本试点研究描述了目标达成量表（GAS）的实施程序，并检验使用GAS来衡量老年虐待（EM）成人保护服务（APS）中案件解决的多种干预结果的可行性。
方法
从缅因州APS前瞻性招募了27名经证实的EM受害者。实施了一种适应性的GAS方法，包括制定预先填充的目标量表菜单和基于网络的GAS应用程序。
结果
GAS菜单包括18个目标和相应量表，涵盖案件解决的多个领域：社会支持、服务获取、健康/功能、增强独立性和保护措施。每个案件的GAS总体流程平均时长为33.8分钟。GAS总结t分数均值（54.3）与理论预期相符。
讨论
如果没有案件解决的衡量标准，研究就无法比较不同EM干预模型的有效性。研究结果表明，GAS是一种可行的、以客户为中心的策略，用于衡量多种EM干预案件解决结果。
