我们对加拿大被边缘化的老年人群体对虐待老年人的定义和看法知之甚少。目前的研究采用焦点小组方法，探讨土著人、移民、难民和女同性恋者等边缘化群体对虐待老年人的看法。我们发现，不同群体对虐待老年人的看法既有相似之处，也有不同之处。各小组查明了传统形式的虐待老年人(即身体、性、心理/情感、经济虐待和忽视)，以及不太常见的虐待类型，如不尊重和政府或系统性虐待。小组还讨论了与移民赞助安排和养老院虐待有关的问题。
We know relatively little about the definitions and perceptions of elder abuse held by marginalized groups of older adults in Canada. The current study used focus group methodology to explore perceptions of elder abuse among marginalized groups such as Aboriginal persons, immigrants, refugees, and lesbians. We found both similarities and differences in perceptions of elder abuse across groups. Groups identified traditional forms of elder abuse (i.e., physical, sexual, psychological/emotional, financial abuse, and neglect) as well as less frequently identified types of abuse such as disrespect and government or systemic abuse. Groups also discussed issues related to immigrant sponsorship arrangements and abuse in nursing homes.
