- Title
Elder Mistreatment Across Diverse Cultures.
- Authors
Mengting Li; Ruijia Chen; XinQi Dong
- Abstract
Elder mistreatment, a pervasive public health issue, is of growing concern. Interpersonal relationships are culturally constructed, and attempts to understand elder mistreatment in different racial or ethnic groups should take into account cultural context. Culture affects how racial and ethnic groups perceive elder mistreatment and help-seeking behaviors, and how professionals and authorities could best engage populations, assess situations, and intervene to prevent mistreatment. Awareness and respect for cultural diversity must be integrated into research, practice, and policy related to elder mistreatment.
