This study examined practices, perceptions, and barriers related to screening for abuse of older adults among rural healthcare professionals, guided by the Health Belief Model. A cross-sectional mixed-methods design captured quantitative and qualitative responses to an anonymous survey. Thirty-two survey responses were recorded from healthcare professionals recruited across 16 outpatient clinics. Among respondents to the relevant demographic items, 66.7% were female, 93.3% White, and 34.6% reported 16 years or more of clinical experience. Confidence in recognizing abuse was moderate, but familiarity with standardized screening tools was limited. Qualitative content analysis identified barriers, including limited time, inadequate training, and unclear response protocols. Although respondents recognized the importance of screening, modifiable barriers limited consistent implementation. Findings support clearer clinical protocols, targeted training, and electronic health record screening prompts for rural outpatient practice.","PeriodicalId":46983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149138750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scale items were generated through literature review and expert evaluation, yielding a content validity index of 0.878. Each nurse assessed one unique older adult. Exploratory factor analysis included 373 nurse-older adult dyads, and confirmatory factor analysis included 334 independent dyads, totaling 707 assessments. Older adults were required to communicate effectively and be clinically suitable for assessment; cognitive status was not formally measured. Exploratory analysis showed adequate sampling adequacy (KMO = 0.861) and a significant Bartlett's test (p < .001), identifying a four-factor structure explaining 61.81% of variance. Confirmatory analysis supported the proposed structure, and Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.890 to 0.944. Diagnostic accuracy was not evaluated against an independent reference standard; therefore, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and clinically meaningful cutoff scores remain to be established.","PeriodicalId":46983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148978286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2024), achieved an unexpected outcome: during the three months after the intervention, no caregivers in the treatment group self-reported elder mistreatment (EM), compared to 23.1% in controls, despite no significant reduction in measured caregiver risk factors such as burden, depression, or anxiety. To explore factors that may have contributed to this outcome, we conducted a case study with three COACH care coaches and their supervisor, supplemented by 100 post-visit notes and six pages of supervisory meeting notes. Thematic analysis identified three elements perceived as central to COACH's impact: tailored, person-centered support; care navigation and resource provision; and culturally responsive, iterative caregiver education. Findings suggest that relational support may mitigate EM risk even when measured risk factors do not change, underscoring the need for theory-informed frameworks to guide caregiver-focused prevention strategies.","PeriodicalId":46983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148963848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used lexicon-based emotion classification, Baidu AI Cloud sentiment scoring, and TF-IDF and Latent Dirichlet Allocation to examine emotional, temporal, regional, and thematic patterns. Sentiment was predominantly negative (mean = -35.941). Among 4,305 classified comments, resentment was most frequent (n= 1,433, 33.29%), followed by confidence (n= 1,297, 30.13%), vengefulness (n= 659, 15.31%), fear (n= 538, 12.50%), and shame (n= 378, 8.78%). Higher provincial resident-to-direct care worker ratios were associated with more negative sentiment, although this ecological correlation does not establish causality. Recurring themes concerned prison-like images of institutional care, direct care worker stigmatization, regulatory oversight, vulnerability among people aging without children, and tensions surrounding family responsibility.","PeriodicalId":46983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148907645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It further investigated the mediating role of IR in the associations between early parenting experiences and later caregiving behaviors. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, and data were collected from 847 adults using self-report measures. Structural equation modeling revealed that PAP was positively associated with IR, PAEP, and PEN. IR also showed strong positive associations with both forms of elder mistreatment. Mediation analysis indicated that IR significantly mediated the associations between PAP and PAEP and PEN, supporting the proposed theoretical model. The results indicate that perceived early autonomy-restrictive parenting is associated with long-term emotional and behavioral outcomes in family systems. These findings have important implications for understanding elder abuse within intergenerational family relationships and for informing family counseling interventions.","PeriodicalId":46983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148833523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kerala's establishment of the Kerala State Elderly Commission under the Kerala State Elderly Commission Act, 2025, creates a specialized statutory mechanism for protecting the welfare, rights, and dignity of older persons. This article examines the Commission as an emerging instrument of preventive governance, focusing on its capacities for inquiry, inspection, coordination, legal-aid facilitation, policy guidance, and institutional oversight. Preventive governance is conceptualized through three dimensions: prevention before harm, early intervention when risks emerge, and prevention of recurrence following abuse or neglect. Drawing on statutory provisions, official government materials, and elder-abuse scholarship, the article examines mechanisms of reporting, inquiry, referral, intervention, follow-up, and institutional learning. It also considers challenges involving professional capacity, financing, accessibility, coordination, and implementation. The article argues that Kerala represents a significant institutional experiment whose effectiveness requires systematic empirical evaluation.","PeriodicalId":46983,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148819875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
