摘要

南欧国家显示出老龄化加速的迹象。在葡萄牙,这一现实的一个特别令人担忧的方面是老龄化进程与老年人暴力事件之间的关系,因为依赖程度和/或健康状况成为发生暴力事件的一个重要风险因素。本研究的目的是:(1) 评估葡萄牙老年人遭受暴力的风险和被忽视的指标;(2) 根据社会人口特征和健康习惯研究被忽视指标的差异。最终样本包括 1012 名 65 岁或以上的葡萄牙老年人。调查询问了参与者的社会人口特征和健康习惯。暴力风险使用易受虐待性筛查量表和老年人虐待量表的忽视子量表进行测量:多国患病率调查》中的 "忽视 "分量表用于评估过去一年中受到忽视的指标。结果显示,约有 27% 的人口具有暴力风险值。十分之一的参与者暴露于低水平的忽视指标,而暴露于较高水平忽视指标的人数略少(5%)。不同年龄组、性别和婚姻状况的人在遭受忽视方面存在明显差异,这取决于他们的生活状况、退休年限、体育锻炼习惯、是否患有慢性疾病、饮酒量和离家频率。

Neglect in Older Adults: A Sociodemographic and Health Approach in the Portuguese Context
Southern European countries have shown indicators of accelerated aging. In Portugal, a particularly worrying aspect of this reality lies in the relationship between the aging process and the incidence of violence in older adults, as the degree of dependence and/or health status becomes a significant risk factor for the occurrence of violence. The objectives of the present study were (1) to assess the risk of violence and indicators of neglect in Portuguese older adults; (2) to examine the differences in neglect indicators according to sociodemographic characteristics and health habits. The final sample consisted of 1012 Portuguese older adults aged 65 or over. Participants were asked about sociodemographic characteristics and health habits. The risk of violence was measured using the Vulnerability to Abuse Screening Scale, and the neglect subscale of the Elder Abuse: A Multinational Prevalence Survey was used to evaluate indicators of exposure to neglect in the past year. The results show that approximately 27% of the population presents values of risk to violence. One-tenth of participants were exposed to low levels of neglect indicators and slightly fewer people (5%) were exposed to higher levels of neglect indicators. There are significant differences regarding exposure to neglect according to the age groups, gender, and marital status, depending on the living situation, years of retirement, practice of physical exercise, existence of chronic disease, alcohol consumption, and frequency of leaving home.
