According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Summary

Elder self-neglect is a significant public health issue affecting older adults. This review highlights research gaps and management challenges, urging stakeholders to prepare for increasing cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Human Rights

Background:

  • Elder self-neglect is a global issue impacting older adults' health and safety.
  • It involves failure to provide essential self-care in areas like hygiene, nutrition, and safety.
  • Prevalence and characteristics of self-neglecting individuals, especially in community settings, require further clarification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology of elder self-neglect, including definitions, prevalence, risk factors, and consequences.
  • To identify critical research gaps in case identification, measurement, and study design.
  • To explore management issues in detection, assessment, reporting, referral, and decision-making capacity for elderly self-neglect.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of elder self-neglect epidemiology.
Keywords:
