Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors influencing intention of intervening towards elder abuse among nurses in the emergency department.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. A convenience sample of 209 emergency room nurses working in university hospitals and general hospitals completed the questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis was performed to examine predictors of intention of intervening towards elder abuse.
Result: Awareness of elder abuse, legal and institutional knowledge, attitude, subjective norm, and self-efficacy were positively correlated to the intention of intervening towards elder abuse. Factors of the intention of intervening towards elder abuse in emergency room nurses were awareness of elder abuse, followed by subjective norm and attitude.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that it is necessary to educate emergency room nurses in order to improve awareness and knowledge of elder abuse. From the nursing practice and hospital organization level, specific interventions and strategies to increase the assessment and intervention of elder abuse are needed.
