A scoping review methodology was used to synthesize study designs, AI modalities, caregiver populations, intervention settings, outcomes measured, and key findings.Results: Forty-three studies were included. Identified technologies included physical robots, conversational agents, and predictive algorithms.

Yet little is known about how the practice environment affects job satisfaction and intention to remain on the job for NPs who focus primarily on older adults (GNPs). To address this knowledge gap, we characterized the current geriatric NP workforce and examined how the practice environment relates to job dissatisfaction and intention to leave.Method: The current study draws on nationwide survey data from GNPs and NPs.Results: GNPs were dissatisfied with the paperwork burden, their input into organizational policies, and the level of available administrative support. Dissatisfaction with input into organizational or practice policies, opportunities for professional development, patient load, patient mix, respect from physician colleagues, salary and benefits, and sense of being valued were significantly associated with a greater likelihood of intending to leave their position.Conclusion: These findings offer practical guidance for health care administrators and managers seeking to build practice environments that support GNPs, improve job satisfaction, and strengthen workforce retention.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"11-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148471067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
