Abstract

Elder abuse is a global public health problem due to its serious impact on older adults. With the increase in the elderly population, abuse cases are also expected to increase. The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence and related risk factors of elder abuse based on studies conducted in Turkey. Nine articles on research carried out in Turkey over the period published in 2010–2020 on the prevalence of elder abuse and a reported risk factor were included in the study. The sample of the studies consisted of 3941 older adults. 13.3%-28.5% of the older adults were detected to be subjected to some form of abuse, 2.7–26.8% to physical abuse, 5.9–23.4% to psychological abuse, 2.1–26.9% to economic abuse, 0–12.6% to sexual abuse, and 3.9%-56.5% to neglect and various risk factors pave the way for abuse.

期刊介绍： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
