Description
Seelia Peter and co-authors build a questionnaire that asks dementia caregivers how they see abuse and neglect, in a 2025 paper. People with dementia are easily abused, sometimes by the very family members caring for them, worn down by burden, stress, and depression. Much mistreatment goes unrecognized because years of routine normalize it.
Their tool, the D-PANQ, uses short story vignettes to surface what caregivers count as abusive, a gentler route into a sensitive topic than direct questions. The study checks the questionnaire's measurement quality among three hundred family caregivers and maps their perceptions. A validated instrument, the authors argue, is the precondition for training and support that actually protects people with dementia.
