Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of elder abuse tendencies among nursing staff in nursing homes and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to select 342 nursing staff from 26 nursing institutions in Zhengzhou from April to October 2020 as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, the Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE) , Workplace Social Capital (WSC) and Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) were used to investigate the caregivers. Univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of elder abuse tendency by nursing staff. A total of 342 questionnaires were distributed and 325 valid questionnaires were recovered, with the effective recovery rate of 95.0%.Results:A total of 65.5% (213/325) of the nursing staff had the tendency of elder abuse. Logistic regression analysis showed that the self-care ability type of elders in charge and emotional exhaustion of nursing staff were risk factors for elder abuse tendency of nursing staff ( P<0.05) , and workplace social capital was protective factor for elder abuse tendency of nursing staff ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:Elderly caregivers have a high tendency to abuse the elderly. The tendency of caregivers to abuse the elderly should be dynamically assessed. Institutional managers should strengthen their support to the caregivers, reduce the number of disabled elderly people who are taken care of by caregivers, provide team support and psychological counseling and reduce the risk of abuse of the elderly.
