dc.description.abstract | Aim This scoping review investigated and descriptively summarised previous research about fundamental nursing,
its focus (what care needs are described, how is it described and by whom is it described), continuity of care (is it
described in relation to fundamental nursing) and possible nursing interventions or activities targeting older people’s
fundamentals of care needs in home- or facility-based care.<p>
<p>Methods This scoping review was carried out following the steps of Arksey and O’Malley’s methodology
and PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines. Searches were conducted in PubMed via NIH, CINAHL via EBSCO and PsycInfo
via ProQuest for the time period between January 2002 and May 2023.
<p>Results Forty-two studies were included where the majority had been conducted in a facility-based care context.
Nutrition—or rather nutritional care activities targeting eating and drinking—was the most frequently described
fundamental care needs addressed. After this came personal care such as cleansing, dressing, oral care, skin,
and foot care. Few studies addressed more than one fundamental care need at the time. The nursing staff described
fundamental nursing as complex, comprehensive, and demanding. Older people and relatives described a gap
between the fundamental nursing provided and their perceived need for support. Less attention was given to older
peoples relational and psychosocial needs. Identified nursing interventions mainly targeted physical care needs.
Our findings also implied that interventions focusing on fundamental nursing were described as feasible in practice
with favourable or moderate results, while long-term effects were difficult to detect. No studies were identified focusing on fundamental nursing in relation to outcomes such as continuity of care.
<p>Conclusion Fundamental nursing was mainly described in relation to physical care needs, which were essentially
conducted within facility-based care contexts. Interventions and activities primarily focused on one fundamental
need at the time, mainly within the physical domain. No nursing interventions were identified focusing on relational and psychosocial needs where continuity of care can be viewed as a relevant outcome. Such limited focus are
especially concerning as research has highlighted the importance of that older people with complex care needs can
benefit from a holistic and person-centered approach i.e. fundamental nursing. | en_US |
