Abstract:
Objective:To analyze and elaborate on the concept and connotation of elder self-neglect, so as to provide reference for nursing practice.Methods:Literature on elder self-neglect was systematically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL. The search period was from database establishment to July 5, 2023. The literature was analyzed using Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis as the theoretical framework.Results:A total of 63 articles were included. Elder self-neglect consisted of four defining attributes of disorder, danger, concealment, and closure. Antecedents contained physiological, psychological, social environment, and other factors. Consequences included the impact on the elderly themselves as well as the impact on others and the society.Conclusions:Elder self-neglect has a profound impact on individuals and society. By analyzing the concept of elder self-neglect and clarifying its conceptual attributes, researchers can conduct in-depth and comprehensive research on it, promoting the development of healthy aging.
