Perceived barriers and facilitators to implement elder abuse intervention for victims and perpetrators: views from US Chinese older adults
2014
Overview
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore US Chinese older adults' views regarding elder abuse interventions in order to understand barriers and facilitators of help-seeking behaviors. Design/methodology/approach - The study design was qualitative, using a grounded theory approach to data collection and analysis. Community-based participatory research approach was implemented to partner with the Chicago Chinese community. A total of 37 community-dwelling Chinese older adults (age 60+) participated in focus group discussions. Findings - Participants viewed many benefits of intervention programs. Perceived barriers were categorized under cultural, social, and structural barriers. Facilitators to implement interventions included increasing education and public health awareness, integrating social support with existing community social services, as well as setting an interdisciplinary team. Perpetrators intervention strategies were also discussed. Originality/value - This study has wide policy and practice implications for designing and deploying interventions with respect to elder abuse outcome. Modifying the cultural, social, and structural barriers that affect health behavior of Chinese older adults contribute to the salience of elder abuse interventions in this under-served.
