Given the increasing global population of older adults, it is essential and inevitable that healthcare centers and nursing homes address and accommodate diversity in their support systems as interventions for healthy aging. The active aging and the inclusion of all people regardless of their religion, origin, and/or sexual orientation is essential to create a climate of safety. Discrimination must be addressed from all angles, at the social level, at the business level and by all workers in nursing homes.
This study provides a comprehensive review of existing literature to systematize information on diversity among older adults in healthcare centers and nursing homes. Out of 1.458 articles identified, 10 were analyzed in depth, revealing that addressing diversity among older adults is crucial to overall mental and physical healthy aging. The findings underscore the need for a multidisciplinary approach and effective management through the Person-Centered Care Model (PCCM).
This study highlights the critical role of the Person-Centered Care Model (PCCM) in addressing diversity in aging needs. It highlights the necessity of tailoring care based on individual life histories and experiences. Additionally, it calls for the implementation of inclusive policies in nursing homes and emphasizes the need for professional training on diversity to ensure these facilities are safe and supportive for all residents.
鉴于全球老年人口不断增加，医疗保健中心和疗养院在其支持系统中应对和适应多样性作为健康老龄化干预措施至关重要且不可避免。积极老龄化以及包容所有人，无论其宗教、出身和/或性取向如何，对于营造安全氛围至关重要。必须从社会层面、业务层面以及疗养院的所有工作人员等各个角度应对歧视问题。
本研究对现有文献进行了全面综述，以系统化医疗保健中心和疗养院中老年人群体多样性的信息。在识别出的1458篇文章中，对10篇进行了深入分析，结果表明应对老年人群体的多样性对于整体身心健康老龄化至关重要。研究结果强调了通过以人为主的护理模式（PCCM）采取多学科方法和有效管理的必要性。
本研究强调了以人为主的护理模式（PCCM）在满足老龄化需求多样性方面的关键作用。它强调了根据个人生活经历量身定制护理的必要性。此外，它呼吁疗养院实施包容性政策，并强调需要进行关于多样性的专业培训，以确保这些设施对所有居民都是安全且提供支持的。
