The aim of the study was to investigate the characteristics of a sample of people (75+) reporting various degrees of Quality of Life (QoL) with respect to QoL in differe…

They experienced conflicting feelings and questions: Should they approach the families or not? did abuse really occur or not? and finally, should they intervene or not? In relation to these co…
