N2  - AIM: The aim of this study was to explore older women's experience of domestic abuse and its effect on their health and lives. METHOD: A qualitative research design was used and data were collected using in-depth interviews with 16 participants. FINDINGS: The consequences of domestic abuse for older women have a significant effect on their long-term health and emotional wellbeing. CONCLUSION: There are little available data about older women and domestic abuse. This is increasingly being recognised as a significant deficit in awareness and understanding in society as a whole, and more particularly for those responsible for support and care provision.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
