Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Social Work
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Elder abuse and neglect pose significant challenges to senior well-being.
  • Existing interventions often lack comprehensive, community-integrated strategies.
  • A structured model is needed to effectively address multifaceted elder abuse issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a novel intervention model designed to combat elder abuse and neglect.
  • To detail the key components and innovative elements of the proposed model.
  • To highlight the strengths and potential impact of this intervention strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a "tool package" for intervention.
  • Establishment of multidisciplinary teams for strategy design and advisory services.
  • Integration of "volunteer buddies" for monitoring and support.
  • Formation of victims' empowerment groups and a community abuse committee.

Main Results:

  • The model incorporates innovative elements: a tool package, volunteer buddies, and empowerment groups.
  • It employs a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach.
  • Utilizes validated abuse screening tools and evaluates intervention strategies.

Conclusions:

  • The intervention model offers a cost-effective, comprehensive strategy for combating elder abuse.
  • Its multidisciplinary nature and diverse elements enhance its potential for success.
  • Community advocacy and education are integral to the model's sustainability.
