“…Also, do not associating this type of violence with the "elder abuse" term, having impairment in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IAVDs). Having a family member with a strong sense of entitlement to elderly assets, feeling frightened by a relative, the elderly not knowing their rights, as well as having cognitive, physical, health, fragility and widowhood problems were also risk factors (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)16,18) .…”

“…However, only seven studies have brought the prevalence of financial abuse (n=7/46.7%). There was variation in the types of abuse, corresponding to 5.2% (10); 2.1% (11); 57.3% in the community and 32.8% in institutions (13) ; 61.3% (15) ; 2.1% (16) ; 1.3% (21) ; 21.5% (23) .…”

“…The authors cited as main risk factors associated with the financial abuse suffered by the elderly: cognitive problems, health needs, fragility, widowhood, difficulties to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), being old, having low income, being a woman, living in the city and with family members (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)16,18,23) . Although these studies cite these factors, the need for further deepening and definition is evident, since not all studies focused on only financial abuse.…”

“…Spouses and children are the main offenders, both physically and financially, and this type represented 57.3% of the reports of the elderly living in the community and 32.8% of those living in nursing homes, which represents a low incidence in these institutions in Slovenia. It was also observed that being able to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) reduces the risks to suffer physical and financial abuse (13) .…”

Objective: to analyze the available evidence in the nursing literature about financial-patrimonial elder abuse. Method: integrative review of articles indexed in the databases CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS and MEDLINE, from 2007 to 2017. The combination of controlled and uncontrolled descriptors was used in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Results: 15 studies developed in seven countries were included. In the thematic analysis, three categories emerged: epidemiological data, risk factors and institutions providing services to the elderly. The occurrence of this type of violence concomitantly to the other subtypes was highlighted among the most frequent. Final considerations: the literature points to important epidemiological data, risk factors and characteristics of this type of violence, including within institutions providing services to the elderly, in different countries, essential aspects for structuring and rethinking public policies for protection and appreciation of the elderly.

“…Only limited attention has been given to family and others as the initiators of abuse in ACFs (e.g. Habjanic and Lahe, 2012). Although aged care homes in the UK are required to have an elder abuse policy in place, Richardson, Kitchen and Livingston (2002) report inconsistency around identification, reporting and management of elder abuse and a lack of familiarity with policy.…”

AimThe misuse and abuse of Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs) by attorneys, particularly in relation to financial decision‐making, is a growing concern. This paper explores the opportunities to enhance accountability of attorneys at the time of the execution of the document in Queensland.MethodA four‐stage multi‐method design comprised a critical reference group; semi‐structured interviews with 32 principals or potential principals, attorneys and witnesses; two focus groups with service providers and a state‐wide survey of 76 principals, attorneys and witnesses.ResultsAcross all methods and user groups, understanding the role and obligations of the attorney in an EPA was consistently identified as problematic.ConclusionsPromoting accountability and understanding can be addressed by greater attention to the role of the attorney in the forms/ guidelines and in the structure and witnessing of the forms, increased direction about record keeping and access to appropriate advice and support.
