| Annotation | In this article information on the scale and scope of resident-to-resident abuse, including verbal, physical, material, psychological and sexual abuse is presented. Nursing homes from ten U.S. states were used, with a total of 4,451 nurse aides in these facilities returning the questionnaire. Most nursing homes experienced verbal, physical, material and psychological abuse, although sexual abuse was less common. Findings of the study show that both the scale and scope of resident-to-resident abuse is high in nursing homes. Resident-to-resident abuse is common enough to be considered an issue of concern impacting the quality of life and safety of many residents. (JL). |
