Abstract:
With the accelerated aging of the global population, the problem of elder abuse has become increasingly prominent, among which mental abuse is the type with the highest incidence. Mental abuse seriously damages the mental health of the elderly, increases their risk of illness and suicide, and reduces the quality of life of the elderly. This article combs the relevant research on mental abuse of the elderly at home and abroad in detail, introduces the definition, assessment tools and the current situation of mental abuse, and summarizes the corresponding influencing factors from the three levels of the elderly, caregivers and society, and aims at providing a basis for further research on the intervention of mental abuse of the elderly and the prevention of the occurrence of mental abuse.
