Abstract
According to a United Nations research on population ageing, the share of the global population over 60 years old would rise from 9.9% to 21.5% between 2000 and 2050. By the middle of the century, the number of Indians aged 60 and above was predicted to have tripled from 92 to 316 million during the course of the following four decades, making up around 20% of the country's total population. (Ramalingam, A. et al., 2019). Elder abuse not only worsens the damaging situations that older people already face, but it also increases their dependence, vulnerability, and marginalization (Patel, A. & Mishra, A., 2018). The objective of the study was to explore the perceptions of elder abuse among older adults, examining its reasons, challenges, coping strategies and develops a comprehensive guideline. The study used an exploratory research design with snowball and purposive/judgmental sampling to study the perceptions of abuse among older adults aged 60 and above in Mumbai and nearby districts. In total, 200 older adults comprising 40 males aged 60-70, 71-80, and 20 males aged 80 and above, as well as 40 females aged 60-70, 71-80, and 20 females aged 80 and above age group. The questionnaire was conducted in English, and the study excluded older adults with memory loss, dementia, or psychological disorders due to potential inconsistent responses. A self-constructed, semi-structured questionnaire was used to understand their awareness and perception of elder abuse and coping strategies. The combination of open and closed-ended questions helped the researcher develop a brochure and guidelines for the elderly, enhancing their understanding of the topic. The reasons for elders being abused, majority of older males (62%) and more of the older females (54%) stated that the need of help older people with daily things and have to spend a lot on their medical expenses. When inquired about the challenges experienced in older adults due to abuse, little more than half of the older males (54%) and majority of the older female (61%) stated that older adults dealing with poor physical health, like an injury, often find it challenging to safeguard themselves from mistreatment due to limited movement. Understanding their perspective about elder abuse helps government and policymakers to make better laws and knowing their learning. Another objective of the study was to contribute by providing guidelines to prevent elder abuse and creating awareness about it. Through this awareness, people will be able to notice any such act happening near them and provide guidance to protect themselves.
