Abstract:
In recent years, domestic scholars have increasingly focused on the issue of ageism. However, due to its highly covert nature, the potential harm caused by benevolent ageism to the elderly population has not yet received sufficient attention. This paper systematically reviews the concept of benevolent ageism, available assessment tools, and its manifestations and impacts within nursing practice. Furthermore, the paper discusses the implications of benevolent ageism for geriatric nursing, aiming to enhance nurses' awareness and sensitivity to this hidden form of discrimination. By deepening understanding, this review provides a reference for future research and the development of targeted interventions to mitigate benevolent ageism in healthcare settings.
