This systematic review summarises and assesses the evidence for educational interventions that increase the knowledge and recognition of elder abuse. Frontline health workers lack sufficient protocols or experience to identify, handle, and report elder abuse. Developing new curricula guided by the literature continues to be a challenge. Interpretation of the educational programmes described in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of elder abuse interventions can provide guidance when planning new programmes to increase knowledge and improve case-finding and cooperation. A detailed literature search was performed using five electronic databases related to healthcare: PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE. Only RCTs examining the effectiveness of educational interventions in preventing or reducing elder abuse were included. Framework analysis was used to integrate data from the retrieved documents. Forty-seven papers were read in full, and five were included in the review. Synthesis of the results from these studies resulted in five main themes: 1) Knowledge improvement; 2) Ability to identify; 3) Meta-analysis of recognition; 4) Characteristics of programmes; and 5) Outcome measurement. Increases in the immediate and longer-term outcomes of all interventions in the included studies were also determined. This review provides healthcare practitioners and older adult service providers with insights into educational intervention programmes that can be used for the development of elder abuse training modules.

教育干预在提高医疗保健专业人员对虐待老年人问题的认识和认识方面的有效性：随机对照试验的系统回顾和荟萃分析


本系统综述总结并评估了教育干预措施的证据，以增加对虐待老年人的认识和认识。一线卫生工作者缺乏足够的方案或经验来识别、处理和报告虐待老年人行为。以文献为指导开发新课程仍然是一个挑战。对虐待老年人干预措施的随机对照试验 (RCT) 中描述的教育计划的解释可以在规划新计划以增加知识并改善案件发现和合作时提供指导。使用五个与医疗保健相关的电子数据库进行了详细的文献检索：PubMed、PsycInfo、Web of Science、Cochrane Library 和 MEDLINE。仅纳入了检验教育干预措施在预防或减少虐待老年人方面的有效性的随机对照试验。框架分析用于整合检索到的文档中的数据。全文阅读了 47 篇论文，其中 5 篇纳入审稿。这些研究结果的综合得出了五个主题：1）知识改进； 2）识别能力； 3）识别的Meta分析； 4）项目特点； 5) 结果测量。还确定了纳入研究中所有干预措施的近期和长期结果的增加。本次审查为医疗保健从业者和老年人服务提供者提供了对可用于开发虐待老年人培训模块的教育干预计划的见解。
