Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and has a progressive course that leads

to inevitable deterioration in functioning. Still, FTD is not a unique

entity in ICD- 10 classification.

Objectives

To investigate the diagnostic and treatment difficul-

ties in FTD.

Aims

To show very rapid and progressive deterioration in people

with early onset FTD.

Methods

We will present a series of cases showing progres-

sive cognitive deterioration and prominent personality changes in

patients with FTD hospitalised at University Psychiatric Hospital

Vrapce since 2013 to 2015. Collected data included anamnestic and

heteroanamnestic information, blood tests and neroimaging.

Results

Our findings showed a significance of early onset FTD,

with subtle, untypical symptoms at the beginning, and galloping

deterioration during the course of illness.

Conclusions

Presented patients with FTD showed rapid and pro-

gressive nature of diseasewith infaust prognosis. Even though early

onset patients make 20% of overall number of patients with FTD,

we consider that it is necessary to separate them from late onset

patients in future classification systems.

Introduction

While research is illuminating characteristics of

elderly that are associated with mistreatment, far less research has

investigated characteristics of the perpetrator that are involved in

elder mistreatment cases.

Aim

To address the characteristics of elder mistreatment’s per-

petrators in a population of community-dwelling elders.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 80

subjects aged 65 years and older, with sufficient cognitive ability to

complete the interview. Elderly were asked about several charac-

teristics of mistreatment’s perpetrators. Indicators of Abuse Screen

(IOA) was used to evaluate abuse.

Results

Findings show that 13.8% of the participants suffered

from elder mistreatment, with a mean IOA’s score of 8.35. Accord-

ing to subtypes, 10% reported psychological, 2.5% physical and 1.3%

financial abuse. Abuse was recurrent and the victim’s reactions

were passive in all cases.

Perpetrators were family members in all cases, with being a part-

ner in 63.6%, a child in 18.2%, a sibling in 9.1% and a stepdaughter in

9.1% of cases. They were men in 72.7% of cases and their mean-age

was 64.09 years. Financial difficulties and psychological problems

were reported in 54.5% and 36.4% of perpetrators, respectively.

Perpetrators were most likely living with the victims (

P

= 0.009).

Partners were the perpetrators of half of the psychological abuse,

and the totality of the physical and financial abuse. Abusive mari-

tal relationships were significantly associated with the perpetrator

(

P

= 0.04).

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that the cause of elder abuse is

rarely unique, and that this phenomenon is consequent to many

pre-existing underlying problems affecting both elderly and per-

petrators.

Introduction

Elderly who live in settings other than their own

homes or those of relatives have received little attention from

researchers in Tunisia.

Aims

To compare sociodemographic and clinical factors associ-

ated with elder abuse between community-dwelling elders and

those residing in nursing home.

Methods

A comparative study was conducted, including 50 sub-

jects aged 65 years and older living in the community and 20

age- and sex-matched subjects living in a nursing home. Cognitive

status, depressive symptoms and autonomy were assessed using

mini-mental state examination (MMSE), geriatric depression scale

(GDS) and activities of daily living scale (ADL). Elder abuse was

evaluated with Indicators of Abuse Screen (IOA).

Results

Elder abuse was more prevalent in elderly residing in

nursing home (

P

= 0.009) with a prevalence of 35% and 8% and

a mean IOA score of 12.75 and 7.74. Psychological, physical,

financial abuse and neglect were reported by elderly residing in

nursing home. Those living in community reported exclusively

psychological abuse. The victim’s reactions were passive in all

cases.

Elders living in nursing home were more single or divorced (0.000)

and financially independent (0.003). They had lower scores of

MMSE (0.002) and ADL (0.014), and higher scores of GDS (0.022).

A binary logistic regression confirmed that elder abuse was sig-

nificantly more prevalent in nursing home after eliminating these

confounding variables: age, gender, MMSE, GDS and ADL scores

(

P

= 0.018).

Conclusion

Our results confirm that elderlywho live in long-term

care facilities are at particular risk for abuse and neglect.

Today, the questioning about the life project of elderly with men-

tal disorders seems not to be a priority of research and politics.

Many studies shows that social representation of this specific pop-

ulation aremostly negative. They impact the place of these subjects

on their social and community integration into the society. The

purpose of our research work is to identify the nature of health

professional’s social representation involved in the accompani-

ment of these subjects. In that case, the authors aim to identify it

impact on their life project. Consequently, the authors interviewed

715 professionals (doctors, psychologists and nurses) with the free

association method of Abric. A prototypical and categorical anal-

ysis was conducted with the help of IRAMUTEQ software. Then a

factorial analysis was performed in order to identify which fac-

tors could be possibly linked with some dimensions of the social

representation we isolated (age, sex, profession and study level).

Results shows that social representation of health professionals
