BackgroundUnderstanding elder abuse requires an assessment of variables that may limit older adults' capacities to handle their everyday lives, to live independently, and to defend themselves. This study was conducted to examine the effect of health empowerment on elder abuse in older adults.MethodsThis cross‐sectional and correlational study was conducted with 250 elderly individuals who applied to the internal medicine clinics of a university hospital in Elazig, eastern Turkey. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Elders Health Empowerment Scale (EHES) and the Hwalek‐Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test (H‐S/EAST).ResultsThe average EHES total score of participants was 25.52 ± 6.58. The H‐S/EAST total score was 4.22 ± 3.49. Among subscales, the score of “Characteristics of the elder that make him or her vulnerable to abuse” subscale was 1.04 ± 0.83, the score of ‘Overt violation of personal rights and direct abuse’ subscale was 1.55 ± 1.30, and the score of ‘Characteristics of potentially abusive situations’ subscale was 1.62 ± 1.94. It was determined that the EHES (β = −0.163, P < 0.01) variable had a negative and significant effect on H‐S/EAST. It was found that a one‐unit decrease in the EHES variable increased the level of H‐S/EAST 0.849 times.ConclusionIt was determined that the level of empowerment of the participants was moderate. Elderly individuals were found to have a moderate risk of elder abuse. It was found that the risk of elder abuse decreased as older individuals became stronger.
