Each month, we dive into the MEDLINE database to uncover the latest and most relevant systematic reviews for aged care. Our search spans a broad spectrum of terms covering both residential and home care settings (aged care), our search terms include:
- Aged care
- Community-dwelling older adults
- Home care
- Long-term care (Nursing homes, Residential care, Retirement homes, Assisted living)
- Multi-purpose services
- Reablement
- Respite
- Transition care
Our aged care terms are combined with others for systematic reviews. For currency we also check PubMed database and Google Scholar. Each review is then checked to see if it:
- Is relevant to the work performed by the aged care workforce
- Reports multiple studies
- Describes the search strategies used to find these studies
- Followed strict processes for reviewing each study for inclusion and quality.
Unpublished systematic reviews (those not published in journal format but available on organisational websites) are sourced by conducting this Google search.
