The training system would also include several reporting tools including but not limited to an abuse questionnaire offered to those who they perceive as being at risk, which would be included as part of the health interview and to be administered to those who present in care settings and a system of follow up responses, contacts and alternatives associated with the event. "Although physicians and nurses are best positioned to recognize and diagnose cases of elder abuse, the level of reporting these cases is much lower than its true incidence." (Almogue, Weiss, Marcus & Beloosesky, 2010, p. 86)
One of the major problems, as quantitative researchers is that the research is limited in scope as it is defining a time and space sequence and is dependent upon quantifiable data. Additionally the pretest post test method relies on the implementation of an untried educational tool that may or may not elicit the desired response, i.e. increased intervention capacity for health care providers regarding the occurrence of elder neglect and abuse. Therefore the training materials and deliverables will need to be highly researched and need to be reviewed by nonparticipants, who still have a stake in the issue as a preliminary research preparation. Additionally the quantitative method in general is said to offer participants only limited voice in the hypothesis being tested. The work could serve as a basis for the development of lobbying and further research for change that would provide a better community resource system to allow recognition, reporting, follow up and community development surrounding the concerns associated with elder abuse and neglect in limited health care access environments, such as is seen in rural communities and experienced by the elderly in those communities.

Even with under reporting, approximately 5% of elder women are likely abused to the point where they seek medical attention at least annually. These women are often well-known in their communities, so when they come into the emergency room with some story of malady, they know everyone will want to about what happened. In some cases, the trend is becoming more supportive, though. As educational programs transend economic barriers;
Finally if possible I will identify at least one at risk family and attempt to determine how future events of abuse and/or neglect could be avoided through support. a. Analysis of new research conducted for this study, to determine present state and recommend further research. b. Evaluation of new research conducted for this study, to determine present state and recommend future research. 5. Ethical review of developing standards for training and intervention. a.
At this stage, agism entails that many older people are made to feel that they are a burden not only on society, but also on those who are obliged to care for them (Holstein, Parks, and Waymack, 2011, p. 130). This in turn creates related ethical concerns such as sexism, since the most common informal caregivers for older relatives are women. There are two basic forms of care that people
Physical Abuse of Older People by Their Families When grandpa and grandma are getting on in years and they are living with their children, the data from reliable sources shows that in far too many cases, physical abuse is visited upon the elderly family members by their own children or grandchildren. This is a travesty but moreover it is a felony to physically abuse older people, and family members guilty of
This can also be done to enable one attain a restraining order against their spouse while in the course of getting a divorce. In conclusion, victims of domestic violence should be treated fairly and not discriminated against because of their gender. The system needs to make adjustment so as to be able to accommodate cases of domestic violence and abuse against men. The reason why these cases are rising is
