| Annotation | The purpose of this study was to explore the presence and form of elder abuse and to identify associated risk factors for abuse in a small sample (n=78) of frail elders (60+) using support services in a suburban community in Japan. The key results were that 17.9% were categorized as being abused, with psychological abuse, neglect and financial abuse being the most common forms. Cultural factors may impact upon who is an abuser, but the contributing factors in this Japanese sample do not significantly differ from results found in other countries. Preventive strategies need to be targeted at multiple levels. (KJ/RH). |
