이 연구는 노인보호전문기관 사례의 단일 학대와 중복학대의 특성을 비교하기 위해 수행되었다. 표본은 2013년 지역노인보호전문기관의 협조로 수집된 회고적 횡단자료이다. 다중로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 중복학대 사례의 피해노인은 가정폭력피해 경험이 있었으며(OR=2.702), 학대행위자는 고령(OR=1.043), 알콜/약물남용(OR=2.784), 피해노인과 동거(OR=3.329), 그리고 피해노인에 대해 경제적으로 의존하는 특성을 지닌 것(OR=4.264)으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 중복학대사례는 학대피해노인과 행위자 특성과 연관되어 있음을 보여준다. 이 연구는 중복학대의 예방을 위해서는 생애경로관점에서 접근할 필요성이 있으며, 학대행위자 특성을 이해할 필요가 있음을 시사하고 있다.
This study aimed to compare characteristics between single-victimization and poly-victimization among victimized older adults in South Korea. The sample was derived from a retrospective cross-sectional survey conducted in 2013, with the cooperation of the local Elderly Protective Service agencies in South Korea. Multivariate logistic regression results indicated that the likelihood of being poly-victimized was higher for victimized older adults with a history of domestic violence victimization. Among perpetrators’ characteristics, being older, having alcohol/substance abuse, co-residing with victimized older adults, and being economically dependent on victimized older adults were associated with the risk of poly-victimization. The findings of associative factors for poly-victimization imply that it may be associated with the characteristics of both victimized older adults and perpetrators. To prevent poly-victimization, caseworkers should approach cases from a life course perspective, and understand characteristics of perpetrators.
