Abstract

While nurses are able to identify abusive situations involving older people, they are reluctant to act on their fears. This is partly due to a lack of confidence in their ability to intervene effectively, arising from a lack of knowledge. This paper reviews the research on the subject and highlights approaches to overcoming these problems.
