Critical Review of Published Research on Nursing and Healthcare Ageism

This assignment is a critical review of published research literature reviews on nursing and healthcare ageism. The review aims to determine the prevalence and impact of ageism and identify effective interventions or prevention methods. The study analyzed 12 relevant reviews, revealing inconsistent findings and a lack of conclusive evidence regarding the extent of ageism and the efficacy of interventions. The author emphasizes the need for more balanced and high-quality research literature reviews to provide a clearer understanding of the issue and inform clinical practice. The review highlights the importance of nurses being aware of potential ageism and taking steps to mitigate its effects on patient care.
