本研究的目的是确定在牙科诊所人群中筛查老年人虐待行为的可行性和实用性。我们在繁忙的牙科诊所接触了老年人，并招募了 139 名 65 岁以上的人，他们完成了音频计算机辅助自我访谈 (ACASI)，其中包括 Hwalek-Sengstock 老年人虐待筛查测试 (HS-EAST)。总体而言，48.4% 的参与者在 HS-EAST 上得分为 3 或更高，28.3% 的参与者得分为 4 或更高。我们的研究表明，有机会在繁忙的牙科诊所进行筛查，并促进对那些筛查出虐待老年人行为呈阳性的患者进行早期发现。
The purpose of this study was to establish the feasibility and utility of screening for elder mistreatment in a dental clinic population. We approached older adults in a busy dental clinic, and enrolled 139 persons over the age of 65 who completed an Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI), which included the Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test (HS-EAST). Overall, 48.4% of the participants scored 3 or greater on the HS-EAST, and 28.3% scored 4 or greater. Our study suggests that there is an opportunity to screen in busy dental clinics and to facilitate early detection for those patients who screen positive for elder mistreatment.
