Elida Floberg is a part-time PhD student at Linköping University specializing in geriatrics within the Department of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics in Eksjö. Her thesis project focuses on elder abuse among individuals with major neurocognitive disorder (dementia). Elder abuse is recognized as an important societal issue internationally. A definition from the World Health Organization states that elder abuse is a single or repeated act, or a lack of appropriate action, occurring within a relationship based on an expectation of trust, resulting in harm or distress to the older person. It encompasses physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse, as well as neglect. Floberg's research aims to deepen the understanding of abuse experienced by older adults, particularly those with dementia, who are observed to be at a higher risk. The overall goal of her thesis is to investigate various dimensions of elder abuse, including its detection, the experiences of ongoing abuse, and its prevalence in relation to behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia. Floberg emphasizes the importance of integrating first-hand information about the abusive experiences of individuals with cognitive disorders, including the perspectives of their relatives.
