The objective of this systematic review was to identify primary health-care or aged-care strategies that have or could support the well-being of older Indigenous peoples.
A search was undertaken of primary databases including Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. Papers which reported on the perspectives of older Indigenous peoples, community members and provider participants were included. Findings were pooled using a meta-aggregative approach.
Three high-level synthesised findings - maintaining Indigenous identity, promoting independence and delivering culturally safe care - were believed to be important for supporting the well-being of older Indigenous peoples.
As physical independence often diminishes with age, having the support of culturally safe primary health-care and aged-care services that understand the importance of maintaining an Indigenous identity and promoting independence will be crucial for the well-being of older Indigenous peoples.

维持原住民身份、促进独立性和提供文化上安全的护理这三项高层次综合研究结果被认为对支持原住民老年人的福祉很重要。
由于身体独立性通常会随着年龄增长而下降,因此,获得理解维持原住民身份和促进独立性重要性的文化上安全的初级卫生保健和老年护理服务的支持,对于原住民老年人的福祉至关重要。
