Psychological interventions designed to reduce relocation stress for older people transitioning into permanent residential aged care: a systematic scoping review

CONCLUSION: The transition to residential aged care is an inherently distressing experience. The absence of interventions implemented during the pre- and mid-transition phases presents a gap in the literature and suggests an opportunity for early intervention. As population ageing continues to increase, there is a pressing need for the development and implementation of interventions aimed at reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety for older people undertaking this major life transition.PMID:38634443 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2340731
