| Popis: | Generally, research on elder abuse has focused on the elders in mainstream America so that little is known about the nature and scope of elder abuse occurring in the Vietnamese community. This study presents the results of a research project on the relationship of Vietnamese elders residing in Santa Clara County, California and their families. It also explores cultural factors that may be associated with elder mistreatment such as issues of dependency and personal indebtedness. The implications for intervention and prevention are discussed, along with proposed changes in human service programs that could enhance the well-being of Vietnamese elders. |
