AnnotationThe purpose of this study was to explore the cultural definitions of financial abuse from the perspective of 124 older Korean immigrants and to examine the role of traditional cultural values in their definitions by using a mixed methods approach. The qualitative analysis generated four themes relevant to definition of financial abuse. A binary logistic regression indicated that those with stronger cultural adherence to traditional values had higher odds of providing culture-based definitions of financial abuse. Education is needed for health professionals, social service providers and adult protective workers to increase their understanding of culture-specific experiences of financial abuse among ethnic minority older people.
