abstract="OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated attitudes toward elder mistreatment from the perspective of older care recipients; their foreign home care workers, and their family members. <br><br>METHODS: Overall, 88 older care recipients, 142 family members, and 127 foreign home care workers responded to a hypothetical case vignette querying about the appropriate care of an older woman who suffers from neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia. <br><br>RESULTS: Foreign home care workers tended to be more lenient toward elder mistreatment relative to older adults and their family members and to view as effective techniques that would non-equivocally be considered abusive and ineffective by current standards. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Interventions should inform these stakeholders about what constitutes elder mistreatment and should be particularly geared toward addressing cultural differences in the perception of elder mistreatment.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
