Abstract

Objective To provide an evidence-based basis for nursing staffs to effectively prevent the elderly’s migration stress and help them adapt to living in a nursing institution by systematically reviewing and synthesizing qualitative studies of the elderly’s migration experience. Methods Qualitative researches on the experience of elderly migration to nursing institution for the aged were retrieved from CNKI、VIP、Wangfang Data，SinoMed，Web of Science，PubMed，Embase and CINAHL. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to May 2023. The selection，extraction and integration process were conducted independently by two researchers，and the quality of the included articles were evaluated. Meta-integration was carried out by aggregating integration method for qualitative data integration. Results A total of nine studies were included，all of which were rated B in quality evaluation. Thirty-four research results with clear credibility were extracted and eight new categories were formed，which were integrated into four integrated results:the reasons for the elderly to migrate to nursing institutions and their attitudes towards migration；experiencing the impact of relocation to nursing home；the coping style of the elderly during the relocation of nursing home；the needs of the elderly after moving to the nursing home. Conclusion There are various reasons that elderly people migrate to nursing home，and their attitudes toward migration vary. During the migration process，they may experience stress reactions and adopt different ways of adjustment，and present diverse support needs. Managers and nursing staffs of nursing home should have comprehensive understanding of the experience of elderly people moving to pension institutions，and provide a reference perspective to help elderly people with relocation needs adapt to life in pension institutions smoothly.
