“…The E-IOA, EAI and the EPAS were validated in patients admitted to a hospital, an emergency department and in long-term care (nursing home), respectively. Seven new instruments have been published since June 2015: Risk on Elder Abuse and Mistreatment Instrument (REAMI), 33 Assessment Tool for Domestic Elder Abuse (ATDEA), 34 QualCare Scale, 35 Elder Abuse Risk Assessment and Evaluation (EARAE) tool, 36 short-form measures of four types of elder abuse (financial, emotional/ psychological, physical, neglect), 37 the Lichtenberg Financial Decision Screening Scale (LFDSS), 38 and the Family Members Mistreatment of Older Adults Screening Questionnaire (FAMOASQ). 39 The REAMI, a questionnaire that contains 22 items, was developed and tested using a mixed method design.…”

“…The findings demonstrated good internal reliability and internal validity for the REAMI. 33 The ATDEA is recently developed in Japan; it is a checklist containing 34 items covering all types of elder abuse that can be used by healthcare professionals, in particular nurses, to detect and prevent elder abuse. Findings of face and content validity testing established the validity of the ATDEA.…”

“…The OAPAM 28 also targets older people themselves. In particular, the BASE, 26 ATDEA 34 and REAMI 33 indicate that the tool can be used by a diversity of healthcare professionals. The last column of Table 1 briefly describes the validity of the instrument in question.…”

Background and Aim: Caregivers in the home environment have an important role in timely detecting and responding to abuse. The aim of this review was to provide insight into both the existing tools for the assessment of and interventions for elder abuse by formal and informal caregivers in the home environment, and to categorize them according to a public health perspective, into primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary prevention. Methods: We selected the assessment tools and interventions that can be used by caregivers in the home environment included in previous reviews by Gallione et al (2017) and Fearing et al (2017). To identify published studies after these reviews, a search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane Database, CINAHL and Web of Science. Results: In total, fifteen assessment tools and twelve interventions were included. The number of assessment tools for elder abuse for use in the home environment is increasing; however, tools must be validated over different cultures and risk groups. In addition, the tools lack attention for the needs of vulnerable older persons such as persons with dementia. Existing interventions for caregivers in the home environment lack evidence for addressing elder abuse and do not address potential adverse effects (quaternary prevention). Conclusion: Assessment tools for elder abuse need further testing for validity and reliability for use by caregivers in the home environment. For interventions, meaningful outcome measures are needed. Important to note is that quaternary prevention requires more attention. This argues for taking into account perspectives of (abused) older persons and caregivers in the development of assessment tools and interventions protocols.
