The aging population is growing increasingly more diverse, with one in four older adults from an ethnic minority group by 2050, while the nursing force will largely remain members of a single race White population. The purpose of this review is to appraise the state of nursing knowledge in relationship to meeting the needs of elders in unique racial/ethnic groups using two approaches: evaluating the efficacy of current knowledge and evaluating the state of nursing knowledge about ethnocultural gerontological nursing based on an integrative review of nursing literature. Thirty-four articles were reviewed. Most articles used qualitative methodology focused on a single ethnic group, with several articles focused on health promotion/prevention. Cultural perspectives were better addressed than aging concepts and few articles integrated ethnocultural and gerontological nursing concepts. This evaluation indicates many gaps in the knowledge base about ethnocultural gerontological nursing. Specific areas for future knowledge development are identified.
老年人口日益多样化，到2050年，四分之一的老年人将来自少数族裔群体，而护理人员大多仍将是单一白人种族群体的成员。本综述的目的是通过两种方法评估护理知识现状，以满足独特种族/族裔群体中老年人的需求：评估现有知识的有效性，并基于对护理文献的综合综述评估民族文化老年护理的护理知识现状。共审查了34篇文章。大多数文章采用定性方法，聚焦于单一族裔群体，有几篇文章关注健康促进/预防。文化视角比衰老概念得到了更好的阐述，很少有文章将民族文化护理和老年护理概念结合起来。该评估表明，民族文化老年护理知识库存在许多差距。确定了未来知识发展的具体领域。
