New horizons in gerotranscendence interventions. Targeting nursing home staff members and other caregivers: a scoping review
Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this scoping review is to describe the published gerotranscendence interventions targeting older adults’ caregivers and their outcomes.
Design/methodology/approach
Six databases were searched, and three studies were selected for analysis: one short-term quasi-experimental study and two observational studies.
Findings
The interventions consisted in an instructional moment about the gerotranscendence theory and a moment for sharing personal perceptions.
Originality/value
Gerotranscendence interventions can be essential for the caregivers to have a better relationship with the older adults, as they could improve their perception on their needs. Even though the interventions presented promising results benefiting caregivers and older adults, none of the studies confirmed that these changes persisted in the long term and additional studies are needed to robustly investigate this subject.
