Elder Abuse
Each year on or around June 15, communities and municipalities
around the world plan activities and programs to recognize
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a day set aside to spread
awareness of the abuse of the elderly (Center of Excellence on
Elder Abuse & Neglect, 2013). The abuse of older adults is a
growing concern and statistics suggest that the number of elders
experiencing abuse is an alarmingly high number. Research
suggests that close to half the people diagnosed with dementia
experience some form of abuse (Cooper, C., Selwood, A.,
Blanchard, M., Walker, Z., Blizard, R., & Livingston, G., 2009;
Wiglesworth, A., Mosqueda, L., Mulnard, R., Liao, S., Gibbs,
L., & Fitzgerald, W., 2010, as cited on
http://www.ncea.aoa.gov/Library/Data/index.aspx). Elder abuse
takes on many forms and can include physical, emotional,
psychological, and economic abuse. The legendary American
actor, Mickey Rooney, spoke to the United States Senate,
describing his own experiences of pain and neglect at the hands
of his stepson, asking legislators to take seriously the abuse of
the elderly.
For this Discussion, find a scholarly article that presents some
of the most salient psychosocial issues related to elder abuse.
Post a summary of the article you found. How does the article
reinforce the importance of assessing potential abuse and
neglect when working with the elderly? Describe prevention
and/or intervention strategies on the micro, mezzo, and macro
levels that can be used to address the issue of abuse and neglect
of the elderly.
Support your posts with specific references to the Learning
Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your
references.
