Aim: To review the literature of existing survey instruments used to measure the occurrence of staff-to-resident elder abuse in residential care settings.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search during May 2017 produced 2,037 records. Two authors independently reviewed these records for inclusion, where a total of 17 studies met eligibility criteria. Descriptive information of all identified survey instruments is provided.
Results: This literature review reveals a diversity of survey instruments used to measure staff-to-resident abuse in residential care settings. The survey instruments varied greatly, where most instruments were self-developed by the authors and provided none or limited information on psychometric properties. Most studies were conducted in high-income countries and many of them in the United States.
