Factor Comments

For the victim

Social isolation Abuse of isolated people is less likely to bedetected and stopped. Social isolation can

intensify stress.

A chronic disorder,

functional impairment,or both

The ability to escape, seek help, and

defend self is reduced.Such elderly people may require more

care, increasing stress for the caregiver.

Cognitive impairment Risk of financial abuse and neglect is

particularly high.

People with dementia may be difficult to

care for, frustrating caregivers, and may be

aggressive and disruptive, precipitating

abuse by overwhelmed caregivers.

For the perpetratorSubstance abuse Alcohol or drug abuse, intoxication, or substance withdrawal may

lead to abusive behavior Substance dependent caregivers may

lead to abusive behavior. Substance-dependent caregivers may

attempt to use or sell drugs prescribed to the elderly person,

depriving the person of treatment.

Psychiatric disorders Psychiatric disorders (eg, schizophrenia, other psychoses) may

lead to abusive behavior.Patients discharged from an inpatient psychiatric institution may

return to their elderly parents' home for care. These patients,

even if not violent in the institution, may become violent at home.

History of violence A history of violence in a relationship (particularly between

spouses) and outside the family may predict elder abuse. One

theory is that violence is a learned response to difficult life

experiences and a learned method of expressing anger and

frustration. Because reliable information about past family

violence is difficult to obtain, this theory is unsubstantiated.

Dependence of the

perpetrator on theelderly person

Dependence on the elderly person for financial support, housing,

emotional support, and other needs can cause resentment,contributing to abuse. If the elderly person refuses to provide

resources to a family member (especially an adult child), abuse is

more likely.

Stress Stressful life events (eg, chronic financial problems, death in the

family) and the responsibilities of caregiving increase the

likelihood of abuse.

For both victim and perpetrator

Shared livingarrangements Elderly people living alone aremuch less likely to be abused.

When living arrangements are

shared, opportunities for the

tension and conflict that usuallyprecede abuse are greater.

Anda pulang telat setelah belajar di perpustakaan untuk ujian semester

dan Anda merasa lelah. Saat berjalan ke rumah, tanpa disadari seorang

anak remaja yang mengendarai sepeda motor menabrak Anda. Seperti apakah emosi yang anda rasakan saat itu? Hal apa sajakah yang

mempengaruhi intensitas marah yang anda rasakan? 

- Rasa nyeri yang anda rasakan saat tertabrak? 

- Keadaan tubuh anda yang lelah? - Kenyataan bahwa anda belum sempat makan malam? 

- Seorang anak remaja yang tidak sengaja menabrak anda? 

- Rasa stres akan menghadapi ujian? 

Jika situasi yang sama terjadi pada saat tubuh anda tidak lelah, dalamkeadaan tenang, tidak mengalami beban pikiran, apakah perasaan dan

intensitas marahnya akan sama?

 ―We need to meet all kinds of people so that we

can find ourselves. Young people need olderpeople just as older people need young people in

order to become more themselves and more

human. That humanizing process will teach usthat there is a child behind the mask of each

older face, just as there is already an older

person behind the mask of each young face.‖

 – Leo. E. Missinne (1990)
