Abstract

Introduction: Determining the perception of the elderly who are at high risk of abuse in thecommunity and identifying the existing abuse may be effective in creating the necessary awareness about elderly abuse. Therefore, this study aims to determine the elderly's perception of abuse. Materials and Method: The study employed a descriptive and cross-sectional design.

A questionnaire was created based on the relevantliterature and was subsequently used to collect data. Results: The questionnaire was presented to a total of 500 elderly citizens consisting of 297women and 203 men. The results showed that 42.2% were in the age group of 65-69, and that55.6% were married. We found that the majority of the elderly interpreted the physical acts inthe statements as abuse and that they accepted economic abuse. The elderly held family members responsible for abuse. In cases where the perpetrator was a family member, they refrainedfrom reporting them.Conclusion: It is necessary to improve the elderly's awareness of abuse and neglect. The elderly, caregivers, and family members must participate in educational processes on aging and onthe elderly.

Özet

Giriş: Toplumda istismara uğrama riski yüksek olan yaşlının istismara ilişkin algılarının belirlenmesi; mevcut istismarın tanımlanması ve gerekli farkındalığın oluşmasında etkili olabilecektir.Bu yüzden çalışma, yaşlıların istismara yönelik algılarının tespit edilmesini amaçlamaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde planlanmıştır. Evren, Isparta ilinde bulunan 65 yaş ve üzeri nüfustur. Örneklem basit rastlantısal teknikle, %95 güven düzeyindebelirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya anket sorularına cevap vermek için yeterince işitsel ve sözel becerileriuygun olan 500 gönüllü birey katılmıştır. İlgili literatür temel alınarak oluşturulan soru formu verilerin toplanması için kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Soru formu 297'si kadın, 203'ü erkekten oluşan 500 yaşlıya uygulanmıştır. Yaşlıların %42.2'si 65-69 yaş grubunda, %55.6'sı evlidir. Bu çalışmada, yaşlıların çoğunluğunun ifadelerdeki fiziksel eylemleri istismar olarak yorumladığını ve ekonomik istismarı kabullendikleri bulunmuştur. Yaşlılar istismardan çoğunlukla aile üyeleri sorumlu tutmaktadır. Ailenin fail olduğu durumlarda, onları ihbar etmekten kaçınmaktadırlar.Sonuç: Yaşlı bireylerin istismar ve ihmale yönelik farkındalığının artırılmasının gerekmektedir.Yaşlılar, bakım veren kişiler ve aile üyeleri yaşlılık ve yaşlılar hakkındaki eğitimsel süreçlere katılmalıdır. İstismarı tespit etmek ve önlemek için araştırmaların yapılması ve ulusal politikaların oluşturulması gereklidir
