Aging & Mental Health by Park (2014) was a study done about the physical, emotional, psychological, and social effects on the elderly when they are abused. Family members used the people in the survey in migrant typesetting from Korea to New Zealand. This form of abuse led to a medical term called “Hwa-byung” (2014), Which refers to the suppression of anger dude is being abused, manifesting in health concerns.How does the article reinforce the importance of assessing potential abuse and neglect when working with the elderly?In America, people who take on elderly family members in their own homes are looked on positively. This is what can be seen on the surface. Mass social workers working with the elderly must make sure everybody is being treated without the intent to harm, which can be looking at an institution or the family itself. Before this article, my thought was to watch an institution for signs of abuse, but seeing so much abuse happening within the family structure changed my mindset. I looked and have found other articles about elderly abuse in the family structure, and opened my eyes to be aware more of the family of the elderly to be sure there is no abuse.Describe prevention and intervention strategies on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels that can address the abuse and neglect of the elderly.MicroOn the micro-level for prevention and intervention strategies, it would be a good turn. I listen to what is being said in the family setting and listen to what is not being said or reading between the lines.MezzoBring awareness to your community at senior centers and other similar institutions. Educate community resource programs such as Meals on Wheels. Start beneficial community programs such as Adopt A Grandparent.MacroPush for policy to have a social worker involved in the elderly health practice setting. Insurance companies like Medicare or the other four profit HMOs will not put this into practice unless there is a policy passed for it in the government.Park, H.-J. (2014).
