    Gerontological nursing practice can benefit from both nursing and non-nursing research. A significant portion of reviewed research, including non-nursing studies, was found potentially useful for enhancing elder care.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Nursing Science
    • Evidence-Based Practice

    Background:

    • Gerontological nursing practice requires a strong foundation in research to ensure optimal patient care.
    • The integration of diverse research findings into clinical practice is crucial for advancing the field.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the potential usefulness of nursing and non-nursing research for gerontological nursing practice.
    • To compare the empirical phase of nursing research with medical, behavioral science, and multidisciplinary research.

    Main Methods:

    • A review of nursing and non-nursing research was conducted.
    • Research was assessed for its potential applicability to gerontological nursing.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Nearly 80% of the reviewed nursing research was deemed potentially useful for gerontological nursing practice.
    • Approximately one-third of the non-nursing research (medical, behavioral science, multidisciplinary) was also found to be potentially useful.
    • The design quality of nursing research favorably compared to non-nursing research.

    Conclusions:

    • Both nursing and non-nursing research offer valuable insights for gerontological nursing practice.
    • Nurses should consider a broad range of research, beyond just nursing-specific studies, to inform their practice.
    • The findings underscore the importance of evidence-based practice in gerontological nursing.
