The older adult population in the United States is increasing, and many of these individuals have entered, or will enter, nursing homes where they may experience elder abuse. Elder abuse is a social problem that negatively affects society and causes significant suffering for its victims, such as emotional trauma. Although family members are also adversely affected, their perceptions about elder abuse that occurs in nursing homes have not been examined, resulting in a gap in knowledge of the care provided to U.S. older adults. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore the perceptions of family members of nursing home residents about elder abuse that occurs in nursing homes. The study was grounded in the social exchange theory. Purposeful and snowball sampling were used to select 13 participants who were close family members of older adults in nursing homes. Data were collected by conducting semistructured interviews with participants. Eight themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the data: (a) feeling of sadness, (b) training of staff, (c) the need for more workforce in nursing homes, (d) experience with residents' care, (e) evidence of elder abuse on participant's relative, (f) definition of elder abuse and perpetrators, (g) identification of elder abuse, and (h) laws and protection. Study findings showed that nursing homes need more capacity to attend to nursing home residents. Training and retraining of both experienced and new staff is essential to minimize the prevalence of elder abuse. This research may foster positive social change by informing the development of better ways for family members of nursing home residents to identify and report elder abuse to curtail further suffering of their elders.
