Abstract:
The present study aims to examine associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and elder abuse (EA) in Turkish older adults This study adopted a cross-sectional design. ACEs scale and the Geriatric Mistreatment Scale (GMS) were administered. The ACEs scale assesses psychological, physical, and sexual abuse as well as neglect. The Turkish version of the GMS evaluates psychological, physical, sexual, and economic mistreatment, as well as neglect.Those with three or more ACEs experienced significantly higher rates of EA (p<0.05). Depression, dysphagia, and insomnia were more prevalent among individuals with ACEs (p<0.05). The presence of three or more ACEs was associated with daytime sleepiness, physical, psychological, and sexual mistreatment, as well as overall EA components, compared to the absence of ACEs (p<0.05). Having multiple ACEs increased the risk of EA. Those with ACEs were more likely to experience sleep problems, depressive mood, dysphagia, and physical, psychological, and sexual mistreatment in advance age.
