Summary

This study aims to examine the pre-hospital neglect and abuse situations that individuals aged 65 and over, who undergo surgery due to trauma, may experience. With the increasing elderly population, neglect and abuse pose significant negative effects on health. The research evaluates the family and social relationships, as well as the physical and psychological conditions, of elderly patients prior to surgery. The results indicate that the elderly are particularly at risk of care deficiency, physical violence, and emotional neglect. These findings highlight the need to raise awareness in elderly care and to develop protective measures.
