Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je prikazati kakvu ulogu ima kultura u stvaranju različitih percepcija o nasilju nad starijim osobama te koji su specifični faktori rizika te stopa prevalencije unutar istih. Zlostavljanje starijih osoba odnosi se na svako ponašanje u sklopu ljudskih povjerenja, koje na neki način šteti starijoj osobi. Bez obzira na to koliko je neko društvo napredno i gledajući na sve kulturološke, gospodarske i ostale razlike, nasilje nad osobama starije životne dobi događa se svugdje. Unatoč međunarodnom političkom porastu u iskazivanju interesa za definiranje i samo reagiranje na zlostavljanje i zanemarivanje starijih osoba, ipak postoje značajne prepreke za rješavanje ovog problema. Neke od prepreka mogu se pripisati različitom definiranju, doživljavanju te nastojanju sprječavanja zlostavljanja starijih unutar različitih rasnih i etničkih skupina. U radu se prikazuje koji su to oblici nasilja nad starijim osobama kao i faktori rizika za iste. Također, prikazati će se koje su to poželjne mjere prevencije i zaštite starijih osoba. Kroz prikaz raznih istraživanja, u radu će se prikazati specifičnosti nasilja nad starijim osobama unutar različitih etničkih skupina u SAD-u, zatim, specifičnosti za pojedine države Europe, Azije i Afrike.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this review is to show the role of culture in creating different perceptions of elder abuse and to present the specific risk factors and prevalence rates within them. Elder abuse refers to any behaviour within a trust, which in some way harms an older person. No matter how advanced a society is, and looking at all the cultural, economic and other differences, violence against the elderly occurs everywhere. Despite international political growth to increase the identification and response to elder abuse, there are still significant barriers to treating the problem. Some of these barriers may be attributed to how older adults from different racial/ethnic groups define, experience, and trying to prevent elder abuse. This paper will present types of elder abuse and risk factors which leads to them. Also, effective intervention and prevention strategies will be shown in this papir. Through the presentation of different research result, papir will present the specifics of elder abuse within different ethnic groups in the United States, then, the specifics of individual countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.
