Abstract

The issue of elder abuse and neglect is an important public health problem that requires urgent attention from social assistance institutions, health systems, political institutions and citizens, can create devastating individual and social consequences, and is not unfortunately adequately reported. Elder abuse can cause serious consequences on both mental and physical health, such as injury, death, anxiety, depression, substance addiction, and suicide.
Necessary precautions should be taken to prevent elder abuse. First of all, it is very important to raise awareness of elder abuse and to raise awareness of the entire society on this issue.

Keywords

Elder abuse, neglect, domestic violence, nursing home life, forensic medicine.
