dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the specific considerations associated with elderly conflicts. The research focuses on the challenges faced by mediators on the management of the Elder Mediation process in Ireland. The aim is to investigate conflicts involving the elderly and the challenges of their management, as well as the importance of elder mediators training in Ireland. The methodology used for this dissertation was mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative, addressing the epistemology philosophy with a focus on interpretivism and an inductive approach. The primary data was gathered through 31 online questionnaires, with close and open questions, with mediators who work with elder mediation in Ireland. The analysis relied on primary data collection to address the established areas of study after performing a literature review that analysed existing data contained in books, journal articles, case studies, and other reliable sources. The research has shown that ensuring the balance of power, promoting effective communication, and dealing with dependence issues are three of the biggest challenges faced by elder mediators. Considering the characteristics related to the ageing process such as the cognitive decline, as well as the specific characteristics of mediation with multiple parties, such as the cultural intergenerational, managing balance power and effective communication can be even more challenging. Therefore, it is recognised that specialised and continuous elder mediators training would be beneficial in supporting the mediation process and assisting in the main issues involving elder people. | |
