摘要
Elder Mistreatment (EM) occurs in approximately 10% of older adults and is associated with trauma-related outcomes including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and early mortality. Low screening and older adult self-reporting rates, especially within Emergency Departments represent missed opportunities for identify and mitigate future EM occurrences and consequences. To date, no studies have obtained EM survivors perspectives of EM screening and response practices in emergency departments.Semi-structured interviews with 19 EM survivors with Adult Protective Services validated EM were completed in the older adult's home. The Elder Mistreatment Emergency Department Screening and Response Tool (EM-SART) was used to guide the interview questions. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative thematic analyses.The participants were mostly female (63%) and white (58%) with an average age of 74 years. Physical abuse accounted for 67% of the EM incidents. Three themes emerged indicating the survivor preference for (1) building rapport and approaching the older adult with compassion and care, (2) setting the context before asking the EM questions, and (3) allowing mutuality, collaborative work, and shared decision-making during the response.Older adults are agreeable and willing to self-report and actively engage in the EM screening and response practices in the emergency department if trauma-informed care principles are utilized.
