摘要: 目的 了解安徽省农村地区老年人虐待的流行情况，探讨老年人虐待的危险因素，为老年人虐待的防治策略和措施的制定提供理论依据。方法 选择马鞍山市当涂县某乡镇作为本次研究现场，年龄≥60岁且无言语交流障碍者为调查对象。采用χ2检验比较老年人虐待检出率的差异，并运用多因素Logistic 回归分析探讨老年人虐待的影响因素。结果 老年人虐待的检出率为9.9%，随年龄的增长检出率呈现上升趋势，危险因素包括：文化程度相对较高、有宗教信仰、子女数量多、与配偶同住、患病数量多、日常生活能力差、重度疼痛和抑郁（均有P<0.05）。结论 马鞍山市农村地区老年人虐待具有相对较低的检出率；需要给高龄、健康状况较差的老人提供更多关爱和医疗服务的支持。Abstract: Objective To explore the prevalence of elder abuse in one rural area of Anhui China, to investigate and identify risk factors of elderly abuse, and to provide evidence for the elderly abuse prevention strategies and measures.
