Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate and integrate qualitative research from nurses on perceptions and feelings of elder self-neglect, with the aim of providing a reference for early identification, prevention, and intervention of elder self-neglect by nursing staff.Methods:Qualitative research of nurses' perceptions and feelings of elder self-neglect was systematically searched in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc by computer. The search period was from database establishment to March 31, 2024. The quality of the literature was evaluated according to the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Australia Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. The aggregate integration approach was used to integrate the findings of the study.Results:A total of eight papers were included to distill 30 findings, and similar findings were generalized and integrated to form 11 categories and synthesized into three integrated findings, including nurses' perception of elder self-neglect, manifestations of elder self-neglect from nurses' perspectives, and influencing factors of elder self-neglect from nurses' perspectives.Conclusions:Nurses should understand the manifestations and influencing factors of elder self-neglect, improve own professionalism, and help the elderly establish positive coping mechanisms to promote healthy aging.
