| Annotation | A systematic literature review was conducted to identify effective approaches to preventing and addressing abuse and neglect of older adults within health care settings in Canada. The review was conducted using databases searched from 2000 to 2013. Additionally expert panel members submitted article citations from personal archives. Two research associates (NRAs) screened each title and abstract for inclusion. After inter-rater reliability was determined between the NRAs, the records were divided, appraised and data extracted independently. The review resulted in 62 studies that focused on identifying, assessing and responding to abuse and neglect of older adults; education, prevention, and health promotion strategies; and organisational and system-level supports to prevent and respond to abuse and neglect. Abuse and neglect of older adults remains under-explored in terms of evidence-based studies. Hence further research in all of the areas described in the results is needed. (JL). |
