Rating of Interagency Working Relationship and Associated Factors in Protective Services

Abstract

Many agencies and occupational groups are involved in reporting, investigation, planning intervention and treatment in cases of elder maltreatment. Collaborative efforts between mandated adult protective services and community agencies are critical in assisting elderly victims of maltreatment as it requires knowledge, resources, and skills of many occupational groups from diverse disciplines. This study explores the overall evaluation of the relationship between interacting agencies from the perspective of diverse occupational groups who work with elder maltreatment cases. It also examines the factors associated with the overall ratings of the relationship between agencies. The findings are reported along with suggestions and directions for greater collaboration and improved coordination among agencies.
