- W45390057 abstract "Not much research has been carried out on the state of informal caregiving of older people, elder abuse and neglect in Namibia. Since very few old age homes can be found in Namibia, the vast majority of older people lives in the community and are taken care of by informal caregivers. The objective of this article was to report the findings from a needs assessment on the informal caregiving situations that may lead to potential risk of elder abuse and neglect in urban and rural areas in the Khomas region. Key informant interviews were conducted with professionals and community leaders, while focus group discussions were held with older people as well as with informal caregivers. On the part of the caregivers, findings suggest that informal caregivers are in dire need of information and support to enable them to cope better with the challenges of caregiving. On the part of the care recipients, findings suggest that due to urbanization and westernization, older people, especially in the rural areas, may find themselves without any informal caregiver, which may lead to neglect. Emotional abuse and financial exploitation were found to be the most common types of elder abuse. Very few incidences of physical abuse were reported, and sexual abuse is rare. The discovery that many older people, especially in the rural areas, are staying without an informal caregiver whilst they are in need of such help, as well as the fact that caregivers are in need of information and support are major issues for policy development and practice." @default.
