Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The International Journal of Older People Nursing focuses on research related to the care of older adults. This includes examining the integration of care frameworks in age-friendly hospital strategies, understanding concepts like near falls and quality of life in older populations, and exploring the effectiveness of various interventions and assessment tools. The journal also addresses challenges in nursing home care, such as hospice referrals for dementia patients, staff resilience, and hydration interventions. Furthermore, it investigates aspects of home- and community-based care, including caregiver support, exercise programs, and discharge planning from hospital to home. The scope also extends to nurse education regarding older adult care and the experiences of older adults and their families in healthcare decision-making.
