Özet

Sağlık çalışanlarının çoğunluğu çocuk İstismarına karşı uzun zamandan beri duyarlı olurken, yaşlıların istismarı ancak 1970'li yıllarda toplumun dikkatini çekmiş ve ancak 1981 yılında devlet düzenleyicileri yaşlı istismarının sonuçlarına yönelmiştir. İstismar ve ihmal tüm ırklarda ve dini sınıflarda tanımlanmakta ve tüm sosyo-ekonomik düzeylerde görülmektedir. Yaklaşık olarak yaşlıların %3-4'ünün; travma, tıbbi problemlere dikkat edilmemesi, kötü hijyen veya su kaybı, uygun olmayan ev koşulları, incinme, sözel istismar, ekonomik istismar, zorla eve hapsedilme veya aile üyeleri, komşular, yabancılar ya da yaşlıya bakım veren görevliler tarafından yapılan diğer zarar şekilleri "Yaşlı İstismar ve İhmali " şemsiyesi altında toplanan "Yaşlıya Yönelik Kötü Muamele" kurbanı olduğu tahmin edilmektedir.
