Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2018/Elder abuse motivation

Article and comment
Hello,

You have a great page so far! I found your topic personally interesting as I am currently also studying Criminology and so I have a little understanding of how crime committed to the elderly is heavily portrayed in the media, and thus can cause a copy cat effect (which you have addressed in providing the Social Learning Theory).

I just thought I'd provide this article on some recent statistics on abuse in the elderly, theoretical explanations for abuse to the elderly, consequences of abuse to the elderly and areas for future study.

The link is here: http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=4&sid=7f60d94f-f0ab-4179-8d46-3f5de7b9302b%40sessionmgr4006

I hope you find this helpful!

Hi,

Have found an interesting paper examining the effects of elder abuse in affecting the onset of dimentia, think it would be an interesting piece! hope you find it helpful! https://search.proquest.com/openview/6c2d50a762ac659bd74406307c61c6b7/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=40661

Hi,

Your page is looking really good! It looks like you have considered the topic very broadly and have a great structure to work within.

Have you considered also adding a section on the systematic issues that can arise in nursing home care? This could possibly fit under your current heading of 'common abusers'.

Here is an article on the topic that I thought provides a good summary of this issue (although it is not an academic paper) - http://australianageingagenda.com.au/2016/02/03/tackling-elder-abuse-in-residential-care-requires-systemic-culture-change/

Good luck! --Liam C (discuss • contribs) 12:20, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi! You've picked an interesting topic. I'm keen to see the finished product and read the informative points you'll research for this topic. You have made a sound progression with the subheadings you want to use. Perhaps you could add points or tips throughout your chapter regarding some resolutions about broadening the communities knowledge and advocating compassion towards the elderly. For example, PSA (public service announcement): a reminder that next time you encounter an elderly who appears to need help, offer your assistance. --u3066780 (discuss • contribs) 1:59, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I found a link to an ebook that gives some pretty good information on the theoretical model of elder abuse motivations. Hope this helps- https://www.nap.edu/read/10406/chapter/5 AnnetaJ (discuss • contribs) 07:21, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

The National Elder Mistreatment Study
Hi, you have provided a sound chapter outline, however, limited information or progression is evident. I actually wrote about this in my first year at uni so I understand all the points you are intending to explore. One thing your chapter may benefit from is the inclusion on current statistics. I located a study/survey report, based in the US, that examines elder mistreatment. Acierno and colleagues (2010) found that elderly abuse is prevalent, with 4.6% suffering emotional abuse, 1.6% physical abuse, 0.6% sexual abuse, 5.1% for potential neglect, and 5.2% for current financial abuse. These stats are appalling! Here is the full access version of the study. It may interest you to compare statistics from this US study to other countries (i.e. Australia). I think what's most shocking is that almost 5% of the entire elderly population is suffering a form of abuse at any given time. Best of luck with your chapter. --U3117126 (discuss • contribs) 11:31, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Added to see also section
Hello,

I added 'Suicidality in the elderly (Book chapter, 2018)' in your see also section, with it hyperlinked to the chapter. The chapter 'Suicidality in the eldery' already has your chapter on its see also page.

I hope this helps!
