Purpose: This study was conducted to identify risk factors that influence the probability and severity of elder abuse in community- dwelling older adults.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Self-report questionnaires were used
to collect data from community-dwelling Koreans, 65 and older (N=416). Logistic regression, negative binomial regression and zero-inflated negative binomial regression model for abuse count data were utilized to determine risk factors for elder abuse.
Results: The rate of older adults who experienced any one category of abuse was 32.5%. By zero-inflated negative binomial regression analysis, the experience of verbal-psychological abuse was associated with marital status and family support, while the experience of physical abuse was associated with self-esteem, perceived economic stress and family support. Family support was found to be a salient risk factor of probability of abuse in both verbal-psychological and physical abuse. Self-esteem was found to be a salient risk factor of probability and severity of abuse in physical abuse alone.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that tailored prevention and intervention considering both types of elder abuse and target populations might be
beneficial for preventative efficiency of elder abuse.
