在美国，每年至少有10%的老年人可能会受到虐待、忽视或剥削，随着人口老龄化，这个问题预计会增加。关于退伍军人中虐待老年人的患病率和特征知之甚少，但根据既定的虐待老年人风险因素，这一人群可能处于高风险状态。与普通人群相比，通过退伍军人健康管理局（VHA）接受护理的退伍军人心理健康状况差，身体健康状况差，功能障碍，认知障碍和社会孤立的患病率较高。作为美国最大的综合医疗保健系统，VHA长期以来一直是为老年患者群体开发创新综合护理计划的领导者。现在，VHA再次有机会通过促进虐待老年人领域的研究、临床护理和教育来发挥领导作用，进一步履行其为服务对象服务的使命。本文概述了在VHA内制定虐待老年人研究议程的基本原理，以及了解更多有关影响退伍军人的复杂问题的潜在第一步。
At least 10 percent of older adults may experience abuse, neglect or exploitation annually in the United States, and this problem is expected to grow as our population ages. Little is known about the prevalence and characteristics of elder abuse among Veterans, but this population is likely at high-risk based on established elder abuse risk factors. Compared to the general population, Veterans who receive their care through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) have higher prevalence of poor psychological health, poor physical health, functional impairment, cognitive impairment and social isolation. As the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States, the VHA has long been a leader in the development of innovative, integrated care programs for populations of geriatric patients. Now, the VHA again has an opportunity to lead by promoting research, clinical care and education in the area of elder abuse, furthering their mission of serving those who served. This article outlines the rationale for developing a research agenda for elder abuse within the VHA as well as potential first steps towards understanding more about this complex problem impacting Veterans.
