To investigate the incidence of elder abuse tendency and factors related to such a tendency among caregivers working in nursing homes. A cross-sectional study comprising 412 caregivers from nursing homes was conducted. The results indicated that the prevalence of elder abuse tendency among caregivers working in nursing homes was 73.5%. This rate was influenced by gender, marital status, work experience, employment modes, whether one had participated in relevant training, caregiver burden and the level of perceived social support (P < 0.05). The study revealed the factors influencing elder abuse tendency among caregivers working in nursing homes and the relationships between elder abuse tendency, caregiver burden, and perceived social support.
