Abstract:
Objective:To explore the awareness and experiences of elder abuse among staff in nursing homes.Methods:Qualitative studies on elder abuse by nursing home staff were systematically searched in databases, including China Biology Medicine disc, Wanfang data, Web of Science, and PubMed, up to August 15, 2023. A meta-synthesis approach was employed to categorize and integrate the findings.Results:Fourteen articles were included, yielding 93 themes. After repeated reading, analysis, and comparison, similar results were categorized into 12 new categories, synthesized into three integrated outcomes: causes of elder abuse, forms of elder abuse, and strategies for prevention and intervention of elder abuse.Conclusions:Staff should pay attention to the issue of elder abuse in nursing homes, establish closer connections between institutions, the aged, and their families, and promote healthy aging within these facilities.
