Researchers are beginning to examine issues of age, gender, and abuse, but empirical data is lacking. The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify contextual variables, with a particular focus on gender, that may be related to the abuse of older adults. Abuse cases, as described by 121 professionals who worked with seniors, were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Three themes emerged through analysis of the qualitative data that provided insight into factors contributing to the abuse of older adults: characteristics of the abused senior, characteristics of the abuser, and the living environment. Results showed linkages between abuse of older adults, gender, and family. |
