AB  - AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To explore the relationship between personality traits, 
      caring characteristics and abuse tendency among professional caregivers of older 
      people with dementia in long-term care facilities in China. BACKGROUND: Elder 
      abuse is a serious global health problem and human right violation with high 
      incidence among older people with dementia. There are many investigations about 
      impact factors of risk of abuse among family caregivers of older people with 
      dementia. However, in long-term care facilities, the situation of abuse tendency 
      needs further investigation. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: An 
      observational survey was conducted according to the STROBE checklist. We 
      investigated 156 professional caregivers of older people with dementia in three 
      long-term care facilities in Guangzhou, China. Participants completed a 
      demographic questionnaire, the Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE) and the Neuroticism 
      Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Data were analysed using 
      Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's rank correlation and 
      logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Over half of the participants (51.9%) 
      reported abuse tendency to the older people with dementia. There was a 
      significant negative correlation between the caregivers' agreeableness scores of 
      NEO-FFI and their CASE scores. Multivariate logistic regression analyses 
      highlighted that protective factors of abuse tendency were caregivers' 
      agreeableness, care recipients' source of finances and their duration of dementia 
      while higher care difficulty and presence of older people's behavioural and 
      psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) were the risk factors. CONCLUSION: 
      Caregivers' agreeableness personality trait and the caring characteristics of 
      older people with dementia may be relevant to abuse tendency in long-term care 
      facilities. Further study with a larger sample size is needed to validate such a 
      correlation. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Older people with dementia are at 
      high risk for abuse. Prospective caregivers could pay more attention to 
      developing their own agreeableness. The managers might establish monitoring 
      system for reducing the abuse.
