Abstract

Objectives: The transition into residential aged care (RAC) is often associated with loss, grief, isolation and loneliness. This scoping review aimed to identify quantitative research which focused on reducing the negative effects associated with transition, thereby improving the transition experience.

Methods: A scoping review, which concentrated on quantitative research, was conducted. MEDLINE, CINAHL andPSYCHINFO databases were searched using the initial search terms "olderadults", "residential aged care" and "transition".

Results: From the 457 original citations identified, four met the inclusion criteria. The interventions used a range of professionals and clinicians, diverse content, and a mixture of outcomes. The content of the more successful studies were underpinned by mental wellness themes and helped to reduce depressive symptoms among new residents.

Conclusions: Our review provides a summary of interventions aimed at improving the transition experience for older adults moving into RAC and highlights gaps in the literature. This review is limited by the paucity of quantitative research in this area. Further research is required to address the negative psychosocial effects associated with transition into RAC.

Clinical implications: Assessing which of the transition phases an individual is in can help individualize interventions to reduce negative symptoms relating to transition.

改善老年人向养老院的过渡：范围界定综述。

目标：向养老院（RAC）的过渡通常与失落、悲伤、孤立和孤独有关。这项范围界定审查旨在确定定量研究，重点是减少与过渡相关的负面影响，从而改善过渡体验。方法：进行范围界定综述，重点是定量研究。MEDLINE、CINAHL和PSYCHINFO数据库使用初始搜索词“老年人”、“住院老年护理”和“过渡”进行搜索。结果：在457个原始引文中，有4个符合纳入标准。干预措施使用了一系列专业人员和临床医生，内容多样，结果喜忧参半。更成功的研究内容以心理健康主题为基础，有助于减少新居民的抑郁症状。结论：我们的综述总结了旨在改善老年人进入RAC的过渡体验的干预措施，并强调了文献中的空白。这篇综述受到该领域定量研究匮乏的限制。需要进一步的研究来解决与过渡到RAC相关的负面心理社会影响。临床意义：评估个人处于哪个过渡阶段可以帮助个性化干预，以减少与过渡相关的负面症状。
