Abstract

This study explored the prevalence, reasons, and predictors of service withdrawal by victims in a sample of 151 older adult abuse cases reported to a specialist social work service. Withdrawal occurred in 34% of cases, after an average of 3 months of contact. The most common reasons for withdrawal were victim denial of abuse and unwillingness to engage with the intervention plan. Denial and self-neglect significantly predicted withdrawal, but only denial remained predictive when both variables were entered into the regression model. Results emphasize the need to screen for and address withdrawal risk, with providers targeting denial of abuse specifically.

不，谢谢：退出虐待老年人支助服务的原因。

本研究以 151 个向专业社会工作服务机构报告的老年人受虐案例为样本，探讨了受害者退出服务的发生率、原因和预测因素。在平均 3 个月的接触后，34% 的案例出现了退出服务的情况。最常见的退出原因是受害者否认受虐和不愿参与干预计划。否认和自我疏忽对退出干预有显著的预测作用，但将这两个变量都输入回归模型后，只有否认仍具有预测作用。研究结果表明，有必要对退出风险进行筛查和处理，医疗服务提供者应特别关注否认虐待的情况。
