Elder Abuse
Elder abuse is physical or psychologicmistreatment, neglect, or financialexploitation of the elderly.
Common types of elder abuse include
physical abuse, psychologic abuse,neglect, and financial abuse. Eachtype may be intentional or unintentional.The perpetrators are usually a spouseor adult children but may be otherfamily members or paid or informalcaregivers. Abuse usually becomes
more frequent and severe over time.
8/12/2019 5. psikogeroB11
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/5-psikogerob11 81/90
Physical abuse is use of force resulting in physical orpsychologic injury or discomfort. It includes striking, shoving,shaking, beating, restraining, and forceful or improper feeding.It may include sexual assault (any form of sexual intimacy
without consent or by force or threat of force).Psychologic abuse is use of words, acts, or other means tocause emotional stress or anguish. It includes issuing threats(eg, of institutionalization), insults, and harsh commands, as
well as remaining silent and ignoring the person. It alsoincludes infantilization (a patronizing form of ageism in whichthe perpetrator treats the elderly person as a child), whichencourages the elderly person to become dependent on theperpetrator.
8/12/2019 5. psikogeroB11
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/5-psikogerob11 82/90
Neglect is the failure to provide food, medicine,personal care, or other necessities. Neglect thatresults in physical or psychologic harm is consideredabuse.
Financial abuse is exploitation of or inattention to a
person's possessions or funds. It includes swindling,pressuring a person to distribute assets, andmanaging a person's money irresponsibly.
Risk Factors for Elder Abuse
8/12/2019 5. psikogeroB11
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/5-psikogerob11 83/90
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
8/12/2019 5. psikogeroB11
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/5-psikogerob11 84/90
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.

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)
