In the area of older abuse and its consequences, different screening methods have been developed and adapted to the country in which they are applied. Professionals are often not trained to detect signs of abuse, much less screen for the same, and therefore need continuous training in geriatrics and geriatric medicine. In order to draw attention to the older in the near future, specific measures should be prescribed not only within the framework of current legal regulations and bylaws, but also through guidelines, guides and other professional documents (soft-law), to be taken by state bodies, non-governmental organizations and other actors, for the purpose of screening violence, prevention of violence against the older, treatment of the older who have been subjected to violence and measures against its perpetrators, including forensics in cases of violence against the older. Instruments for organized screening for violence should be introduced in all sectors, but especially in the health and social care sectors, because primary health care and social work centers, in fact, are the gateway to the health and social system and make initial contact with service users, including the olderŠtevilne države razvijajo instrumente za preprečevanje in prepoznavanje nasilja nad starejšimi. Na področju zlorabe starejših in njenih posledic so bile razvite različne metode presejanja, ki so bile prilagojene državi, v kateri se uporabljajo. Strokovnjaki pogosto niso usposobljeni za zaznavanje znakov zlorabe, zato potrebujejo nenehno izobraževanje na področju geriatrije in geriatrične medicine. Da bi pritegnili pozornost k starejšim v bližnji prihodnosti, bi morali biti predpisani posebni ukrepi, ne le znotraj obstoječih zakonodajnih predpisov in podzakonskih aktov, temveč tudi prek smernic, vodnikov in drugih strokovnih dokumentov (soft-law), ki jih morajo sprejeti državni organi, nevladne organizacije in drugi akterji, za namene presejanja nasilja, preprečevanja nasilja nad starejšimi, zdravljenja starejših, ki so bili izpostavljeni nasilju, in ukrepov proti storilcem, vključno s sodnimi preiskavami v primerih nasilja nad starejšimi. Orodja za organizirano presejanje nasilja bi morala biti uvedena v vse sektorje, zlasti v sektorjih zdravstva in socialne oskrbe, saj so osnovno zdravstvo in centri za socialno delo, dejansko vhod v zdravstveni in socialni sistem ter vzpostavljajo prvi stik s uporabniki storitev, vključno s starejšimiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta
