Describes an elderly, family-centered and community-based intervention: Family Care Conference (FCC). |
The FCC has six steps: referral, screening, family involvement, logistical preparation, family reunion and follow-up. |
During the follow-up phase, family meetings are held to evaluate the results achieved by the family, in order to identify any necessary changes to the plan and provide positive encouragement. The number of meetings will depend on how difficult the family found it to implement the proposed plan; of the 10 families that participated in the project, five managed to solve their problems in only one meeting, four had two family meetings, and one had three family meetings. |

Examine the feasibility of implementing routine screening for depression and anxiety in a system of elder abuse services; test the acceptability of a mental health intervention called Providing Options to Elderly Clients Together (PROTECT) to improve depression and the outcomes of elder abuse cases; identify the most acceptable format for providing mental health services in the practice of elder abuse. |
The PROTECT intervention combines problem-solving psychotherapy with anxiety management techniques. The PROTECT resolution therapy is applied in eight sessions, with (at least) the first session held in person. Each subsequent session is conducted using either face-to-face meeting or face-to-face problem-solving worksheets. |
The degree of completion of activities, client satisfaction, response to elder abuse interventions and perceived improvement are documented in session progress notes by the PROTECT therapist. The article did not contain any results on the effectiveness of the intervention strategy used. |

Increase the understanding of professionals about Interpersonal Violence (IPV) in elder abuse women; discuss barriers faced by this population; describe interventions used when dealing with IPV cases in elder abuse women. |
The authors conducted two case studies with elder abuse female victims of IPV and identified three essential positions that should be adopted by professionals when performing any intervention with elder abuse female victims of IPV. These positions were: user embracement and captivation of clients; encouraging and supporting the narration of their stories; and offering assistance in the process of empowerment. |
The case study and the research notes provided data that supported the conceptualization of effective interventions for elder abuse women who had experienced IPV. Both women began to regain control by identifying and resolving vulnerabilities that others had used against them for decades. The researchers identified this as "empowerment from within" to recognize the long and hard work that older women themselves must carry out to deal with IPV. |

To carry out an educational intervention to modify knowledge on elder abuse. |
The program of activities was carried out in eight work sessions with themes related to different types of violence and their manifestations, causes and consequences. Two-hour sessions were held twice a week. At the end of each session, there were reflections on what had been covered. |
After the educational intervention, the questionnaire was again evaluated with the same initial characteristics, and the knowledge modifications that occurred before and after the intervention were evaluated. At the end of the intervention, all the elder abuse people with inadequate knowledge showed a 100% increase in knowledge levels, with a significance level of p <0.05. |

Apply an educational intervention program that promotes assertive behavior in the elder abuse. |
The study used an Educational Intervention Program prepared by the group of authors and advisors of this research and validated by expert criteria through the methodology of preference, with a total of 10 experts and a 10% rate of error. |
The following methods were used at the beginning and end of the program for diagnosis and evaluation: observation, experience, focus group, interview, and triangulation of techniques (interview and focus group) to obtain the results. Five themes were addressed before and after the intervention: attitude toward old age, daily activities, respect for the elderly, attitude to sexuality in the elderly, and assertive attitude in the elderly. All these aspects changed positively after the intervention, but only the assertive attitude component of the elder abuse resulted in a statistically significant change, p <0.05. |

Describe an educational intervention to prevent and control elder abuse; characterize the victims of violence according to sociodemographic and sociocultural variables; determine the frequency of elder abuse. |
An educational intervention was conceived based on specific teachings intended for the family and the elder abuse victim to prevent elder abuse, based on instructions for healthy lifestyles that promote appropriate interpersonal exchanges between different generations. Manifestations that can be identified as abuse were also discussed. |
How the results were evaluated and whether there were positive results as an outcome of the intervention were not described. |

Design and implement an empowering educational intervention to prevent elder abuse. |
The content of the educational interventions was based on the dimensions of health promoting behavior and included physical activity, recreation and entertainment, sleep, nutrition, interpersonal relations and social support, responsibility for health, mental health, and older adult stress management. Educational technology methods, such as lectures, questions and answers, and problem-solving were used. The intervention was carried out in twenty 45- to 60-minute training sessions over 6 months. |
Knowledge of elder abuse, high self-efficacy, high social support and high health promoting lifestyle was significantly greater in the intervention group; the frequency of elder abuse risk was also significantly lower in the intervention group after the intervention. The intervention had the highest impact on increasing social support and promoting healthy behaviors. |
