Most of the studies used random sampling (n=16, 57.1%) [9, 13, 34,35,36,37,38, 42, 54, 60,61,62, 66, 71,72,73, 76]. Zhang Z, Schiamberg LB, Oehmke J, Barboza GE, Griffore RJ, Post LA, et al.

Do interventions to prevent or stop abuse and neglect among older adults work? The trauma of elder abuse can result in premature death, the deterioration of physical and psychological health, destruction of social and familial ties, devastating financial loss and more. The findings also indicate the imbalance of power between residents not being able to draw attention on their experience of abuse, and staff members probably not reporting abuse in order to protect themselves or their colleagues. The federal government and states share responsibility for the health and welfare of about 1.5 million individualsmost of them vulnerable older adultsreceiving long-term care in nursing homes and assisted living facilities covered by Medicare and Medicaid.

Not all authors confirmed this approach [35, 71]. https://doi.org/10.1159/000450787. Residents are dependent on nursing staff and, therefore, might be afraid of reporting abuse.
