Abstract

Prior literature has demonstrated a negative association between social support and elder mistreatment. Furthermore, social support may moderate the negative relationship between health-related indicators and elder mistreatment. This study is the first to investigate these assertions in Brazil using nationally representative data. We employ the 2019 National Health Survey and a series of binary logistic regressions. Overall, increased social support from stronger ties, like family and close friends, reduces the likelihood of elder mistreatment. However, increased participation in broader and more distant social networks and circles of sociability may increase the risk of mistreatment. Moreover, the negative relationship between health-related indicators and elder mistreatment is partially moderated by increased social support. While findings on other support dimensions vary, family support appears crucial in mitigating elder mistreatment. This study contributes by underscoring the intricate interplay of social support, health, and mistreatment, advocating for family-centered interventions to improve elder well-being in Brazil.

巴西的社会支持与虐待老人问题:探讨两者之间的关系和调节作用。
先前的文献表明,社会支持与虐待老人之间存在负相关。此外,社会支持可能会缓和健康相关指标与虐待老人之间的负面关系。本研究首次在巴西使用具有全国代表性的数据对这些论断进行调查。我们采用了 2019 年全国健康调查和一系列二元逻辑回归。总体而言,增加来自家庭和亲密朋友等较强关系的社会支持可降低虐待老人的可能性。然而,更多地参与更广泛、更遥远的社交网络和交际圈可能会增加虐待风险。此外,与健康相关的指标与虐待老人之间的负相关关系在一定程度上受到社会支持增加的调节。虽然关于其他支持维度的研究结果各不相同,但家庭支持似乎对减轻虐待老人行为至关重要。本研究强调了社会支持、健康和虐待之间错综复杂的相互作用,倡导以家庭为中心的干预措施,以改善巴西老年人的福祉。
