Neglect Among Portuguese Older Adults: A Qualitative Study on Perceptions of Causes and Preventive Measures.
With Portugal projected to have one of the oldest populations by 2050, understanding the causes and preventive measures of older adult neglect is crucial. This study qualitatively analyzes the perceptions of 52 Portuguese older adults regarding the origins and prevention of neglect. Thematic analysis identifies two broad categories of etiological factors: proximal, including personal and family problems; and distal, such as the emotional overload of caregivers and the social devaluation of older adults. Active interventions stood out, particularly in promoting autonomy, while passive interventions included support for caregivers, combating ageism, and legal and community reinforcement. This study contributes to the understanding of aging in vulnerable contexts, offering recommendations for future interventions.
