摘要

隨著老年人口不斷竄升、照顧負擔增重，老人不適當對待層出不窮，其中，老人疏忽（elder neglect）比例較高。雖然國內外已有文獻探討老人疏忽，但多將老人疏忽視為老人虐待的一種型態，而老人疏忽與老人虐待實屬不同概念，故本文依據Walker及Avant之概念分析步驟，進行老人疏忽的概念分析，決定不同層面的老人疏忽定義性特徵，確認老人疏忽之前因及後果，列舉老人疏忽的典型案例、邊緣案例及相關案例，並且敘述臨床測量及實務應用，期盼專業人員更加了解此概念，早期發現並適時協助遭受疏忽對待的老人，以維護老人安全及晚年尊嚴。

As the elderly population continues to rise, the burden of caring for the elderly rises commensurately, and elder mistreatment events have becoming more common. Elder neglect is the most common type of these mistreatments. Although many literatures have defined elder neglect as a type of abuse of the elderly, it is believed that elder neglect conceptually differs from elder abuse. The purpose of this article is to apply the Walker and Avant concept analysis steps, which includes analyzing the concept of elder neglect and determining the defining attributes of elder neglect at different levels, identifying the antecedents and consequences of elder neglect, listing the model, borderline and related cases of elder neglect, and describing the clinical measurements and practical applications. The results of this analysis can be referenced for health professionals to detect elder neglect early, and provide assistance in a timely manner, in order to maintain the safety of the elderly and their dignity in old age.
