老人虐待（Elder abuse）的警示跡象通常隱藏在照顧者的行為中。當照顧者表達出明顯的挫折感（Frustration）或憤怒，且未得到適當的心理支持時，往往是虐待行為發生的前兆。護理師在評估時，應注意照顧者的情緒反應、照護負荷（Caregiver burden）以及病人的行為改變（如退縮、恐懼）。及早介入並提供照顧者資源，是預防虐待發生的關鍵。
Caregiver frustration is a significant warning sign of potential elder abuse, as unmanaged stress can escalate into abusive behavior. Protective factors include the older adult's independence and a strong social support network. Nurses should assess for caregiver burden and intervene early by providing resources to mitigate these risks.
