This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of violence perpetrated by healthcare workers (HCWs) against patients in long-term care (LTC). For this purpose, five relevant databases were searched. Two reviewers extracted data from the included articles independently and assessed their quality. Overall and subgroup random-effects pooled prevalence meta-analyses were performed. A series of meta-analyses stratified by study quality were also performed due to high heterogeneity. Nineteen articles were included, physical restraint (22%; CI: 15–29), verbal abuse (22%; CI: 16–28), and neglect (20%; CI: 15–26) attained the highest overall prevalence, while sexual abuse was less reported (2%; CI: 1–3). The prevalence of witnessed violence is generally higher than those reported by HCWs, and patients and their relatives reported fewer cases of violence than HCWs. Differences in violence perpetrated among LTC settings were found. Neglect (64%; CI: 56–72) and financial abuse (7%; CI: 3–12) reported by HCWs were higher in home care, while verbal abuse (21%; CI: 7–39) reported by patients or their families was higher in nursing homes. Our findings highlight that violence perpetrated by HCWs toward patients represents a significant concern in LTC, suggesting the adoption of reliable monitoring approaches and provision of assistance to victims in reporting abuse.

Показатели самоубийств являются косвенным признаком социального благополучия при любом общественном строе. Особенно остро проблема самоубийств касается пожилых людей, число которых во всем мире неуклонно растет. Увеличение продолжительности жизни и геронтологическая демографическая диспропорция имеют серьезные последствия для людей старшего поколения, так как сопровождаются усилением негативных социальных тенденций. В качестве примера рассмотрен случай самоубийства гр-на А., 89 лет, длительное время страдавшего онкологическим заболеванием и полностью зависимым от других людей. Авторы обращают внимание на то, что важными факторами риска, способствующими совершению самоубийств пожилыми людьми, являются жизнь за чертой бедности, хронический стресс, стесненность жилищных условий, конфликтные отношения в семье, накопление соматоневрологической и психической патологии и т.д. Все это способствует возникновению сложной конфликтной среды, в которой пожилые люди становятся жертвами. Комплексный судебно-медицинский и социально-гигиенический анализ случаев самоубийств и многочисленных факторов риска позволяет усовершенствовать статистические данные по нозологическим формам выявленной патологии, разработать меры по профилактике девиантного поведения лиц преклонного возраста на региональном уровне и повлиять на смертность, особенно в группах риска, к которым относятся пожилые люди. Ключевые слова: виктимность пожилых людей, насилие, самоубийства, отравление технической жидкостью «Крот».
