摘要

Background

The number of older people in Germany has risen steadily in recent decades. One in four people is now aged 65 or over. As people age, their health problems tend to increase, as do their fundamental care needs. Nurses play a key role in addressing these needs through a holistic approach. To fulfil this responsibility effectively, it is necessary to examine existing nursing research on the fundamentals of care for older people and to identify gaps in the current evidence base. Therefore, we plan to conduct a mapping review with the aim of mapping the extent, range and nature of nursing research activities on the fundamentals of care, as defined in the physical, psychosocial and relational components of the Integration of Care dimension of the Fundamentals of Care Framework for older people in Germany.

Methods

We will search the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, CareLit and GeroLit, the catalogue of the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space and the German National Library for publications on nursing research based on the Integration of Care dimension of the Fundamentals of Care Framework among older people (≥ 65 years). There will be no time limit. We will include studies published in English and German. Initial screening of the first ten per cent of titles and abstracts and other stages will be carried out by two independent researchers. This process will be repeated until full agreement between the researchers. Any discrepancies will be resolved with consultation of a third reviewer. Results will be reported in a narrative synthesis and complemented by tabular and numerical presentations.

Discussion

To the best of our knowledge, this mapping review will be the first to provide an overview of current nursing research on the fundamentals of care for older people in Germany. The inclusion of German-language texts and the absence of time limits in this review are intended to complement previous reviews. The planned mapping review will also identify the evidence gap in research in this area and contribute to the determination of future scientific research in Germany. Consequently, the findings of the mapping review could be of great interest to nurses and other health professionals for evidence-based practice, research and educational programmes. In addition, the data can be used to develop a programme for the provision of age-friendly and caring living conditions for older people in the future.

Systematic review registration

The protocol was registered with Open Science Framework (osf.io/9e3uv).
