Dementia is a predominant problem in older adults, affecting African American individuals at higher rates than other ethnic groups; yet, African American older adults use fewer formal services. To identify factors influencing formal service use by African American individuals with dementia and their caregivers, an integrative review of the literature was performed using four databases from 1990 to July 2017. Fourteen articles (nine quantitative, five qualitative) describing formal service use were included in the review. Three main themes were identified: Formal Service Need, Expectations of Formal Service Providers, and Formal Service Use. Recommendations to improve formal service use are suggested.

痴呆症是老年人面临的一个主要问题，非裔美国人受其影响的比例高于其他种族群体；然而，非裔美国老年人使用的正规服务较少。为了确定影响患有痴呆症的非裔美国人及其护理人员使用正规服务的因素，我们使用四个数据库对1990年至2017年7月的文献进行了综合回顾。该回顾纳入了14篇描述正规服务使用情况的文章（9篇定量研究，5篇定性研究）。确定了三个主要主题：正规服务需求、对正规服务提供者的期望以及正规服务使用情况。文中还提出了改善正规服务使用情况的建议。[《老年护理杂志》，44(6)，33 - 39。]
