Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To describe and analyze the current research status of self-neglect of the elderly in community. Methods Followed the framework of Arksey and O’Malley’s scope-review methodology，databases were searched including PubMed，Embase，EBSCO，CINAHL，Web of Science，Scopus，Cochrane Library，OpenGrey，SinoMed，CNKI，VIP，Wanfang. Time period was set from their establishment to November 27，2022. All retrieved literatures were screened，extracted and summarized. Results A total of 45 articles were included，including 33 in English and 12 in Chinese，and 31 cross-sectional studies. Among them，23 studies reported the incidence or level of self-neglect. A total of 14 assessment tools were used. The influencing factors were classified into socio-demographic characteristics，health-related characteristics，psychological and behavioral characteristics，and social background characteristics. In addition，12 studies reported on the adverse effects of self-neglect on older people in the community and eight studies reported prevention and intervention measures. Conclusion Self-neglect is common and has serious adverse effects among the elderly population in the community，with complex and diverse influencing factors，a variety of assessment tools with low reliability，and a single type in study design. Community nursing workers should deepen their research on influencing factors，evaluation tools，and types and contents of research，so as to prevent and intervene in self-neglect among elderly people in the community.
