“…At the second and third levels of care, mistreatment is more likely to be identified because signs and symptoms will be stronger: malnutrition, dehydration, somatisation, psychological problems, skin lesions, etc. ( Eulitt, Tomberg, Cunningham, Counselman, & Palmer, 2014 ; Fernández-Alonso, Baratas-Crespo, García-Briñón, & Martín-Sánchez, 2011 ; Palmer, Brodell, & Mostow, 2013 ). Using this tool, health personnel can better identify cases of mistreatment and help safeguard older adults’ rights, as mistreatment is a violation of human rights that causes injuries, disease and severe psychological damage ( Instituto de Mayores y Servicios Sociales, Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología, & OMS (WHO), 2007 ; Podnieks et al, 2010 ; United Nations, 2012 ).…”

The abuse of older adults is a serious public health issue that can be difficult to identify at the first level of care. Medical and nursing personnel are sometimes unable to identify older adults who suffer family mistreatment. This can occur when victims feel shame or as a result of cultural factors. In the light of this, healthcare personnel require a screening tool that can be used to identify signs of mistreatment. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a screening tool for detecting the familial mistreatment of older adults in primary care settings. A mixed method cross-sectional study was carried out in three phases between 2009 and 2012 in Mexico. The formative phase involved using a qualitative methodology to identify terms that older adults use to identify practices defined as forms of mistreatment. On this basis, the second phase involved the design of a screening tool through the formation of items in collaboration with a panel of experts. These items were tested on older adults to ensure their intelligibility. Finally, validity and reliability levels were evaluated through the application of the screening tool to a sample of older adults at a primary care facility and at a legal centre. These findings were discussed with gerontologists, and the data were analysed through an exploratory factor analysis with orthogonal rotation and Cronbach's alpha using STATA v13. From the results, we generated a screening tool that is culturally and socially tailored to older adults in Mexico. The tool has a Cronbach's alpha of 0.89, a sensitivity value of 86% (p < .05) and a specificity value of 90% (p < .05) for positive answers to the tool's 15 items. Applying this tool at the first level of care could limit damage to older adults' health and could lower the frequency of emergency room use in hospitals.

“…La SEGG hace ya tiempo que estableció unas guías de actuación a este respecto (12). También el IMSERSO (14) se ha ocupado y se ocupa del tema de forma recurrente con simposios y publicaciones y son habituales las comunicaciones en congresos y simposios de la propia SEGG (42)(43)(44). Realizar estudios como los que pide la AEA que contribuyan a conocer la magnitud del problema o que recojan experiencias en la lucha contra el mismo es otra obligación de las sociedades científicas y de los profesionales.…”

Resumen Se presentan y comentan los principales problemas derivados de los abusos, malos tratos y negligencias sobre la población de más edad, con especial énfasis en nuestro país donde el problema, siempre difícil de cuantificar, podría alcanzar al 10-20% de este grupo etario. El objetivo es poner el foco sobre el tema ante profesionales y sociedad, llamar la atención acerca de su magnitud y trascendencia, destacar algunos de los puntos más relevantes en relación con este fenómeno e invitar a todos a la reflexión en orden a poder incorporar actitudes que contribuyan a minimizarla. Se ofrecen datos de la literatura y se analizan los abusos y malos tratos económicos, psicológicos y físicos, sus formas de manifestarse, factores de riesgo y perfiles de maltratador y víctima. Por último, se sugieren posibles vías de actuación ante estas situaciones.
