    Legal Awareness of Elderly About Abuse and Neglect
    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2016) Sisli, Zeynep; Kizil, Melahat; Ustunkarli, Nursun; Şemin, Makbule İlgi
    Introduction: The weakness and dependence of elders may expose them to abuse and neglect more than other age groups. This research aimed to evaluate legal awareness of elderly about which behaviors of abuse and neglect could be considered as criminal. Materials and Method: A questionnaire was administered during face-to-face interviews to 74 elderly people (>65 years of age) in a nursing home in Izmir. The statistical analysis of data was evaluated by SPSS 21. Results: Majority of the participants demonstrated legal awareness regarding physical and psychological behaviors that could be considered criminal, whereas many were unaware that these behaviors could be considered criminal even when the perpetrator acts unintentionally. Most of the participants were aware of increased penalties in cases where abuse or neglect is committed against those unable to defend themselves because of age; and for cases of torment. However it is also seen that many of them did not apply to legal ways when they experienced that type of behaviors. Conclusion: It is important to increase awareness regarding the criminal nature of abuse and neglect against elderly and to establish effective and easily accessible legal assistance.

    Protecting Older Workers' Health in Legal Terms Comparatively European Eacquis in the Light of Ilo R162
    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2020-09-30) Sisli, Zeynep
    Introduction: This article discusses the specific laws, regulations, and recommendations aimed at protecting older workers against occupational accidents and illnesses and whether they are properly regulated by Turkish legislation compared with the European Union acquis, in order to protect older workers against discrimination, and to make their working conditions more appropriate for their ages, in the light of International Labour Organization Recommendation No. 162. Materials and methods: This conceptual article was prepared by evaluating the legal framework for protection of the occupational health and safety of older Turkish workers, through a comparison of Turkish law, International Labour Organization Recommendation No. 162, and the European Union acquis, and consideration of the facts reported in the relevant literature, using the document analysis method. Results and Conclusion: Neither Turkish labour law nor European Union acquis include sufficient regulation to protect the health and safety of older workers at work. Older workers' health should be protected specifically by social law, without driving them to poverty. Changes in the regulation of working conditions that would be supported by the social security system have been proposed to protect the health of older workers as a specially protected group.
