很少有针对家庭暴力受害者的方案得到有效性评估。这一差距在虐待老年人服务干预方面更为明显。这里提出的研究旨在解决这一差距，通过使用实验研究设计，以评估结果的老年虐待心理社会支持小组试点认知未受损的老年女性受害者的虐待的家庭成员和其他重要的人，他们提供照顾或支持。本研究所采用的支持小组模式采用了加拿大马尼托巴的一个虐待老人庇护所项目NOVA House设计的模式。该研究由哈特福德基金会老年社会工作学院学者计划资助。虽然研究结果的重要性受到试点参与者人数少的限制，但为研究开发的干预和评价工具模型可用于复制研究。(C)出版社：The Haworth Press，Inc.

Few programs for domestic violence victims have been evaluated for effectiveness. This gap is even more pronounced for elder abuse service interventions. The study presented here is intended to address this gap by using an experimental research design to evaluate outcomes of an elder mistreatment psycho-social support group pilot for cognitively unimpaired older female victims of mistreatment by family members and significant others for whom they are providing care or support. The support group model used for the study adapts a model designed by NOVA House, an elder abuse shelter program in Manitoba, Canada. The study was funded by the Hartford Foundation Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholars Program. While the significance of study findings is limited by the small number of pilot participants, the model intervention and evaluation instrument developed for the study may be utilized for study replication.
