Title: | Age-friendly interventions in rural and remote areas : a scoping review | Authors: | Montayre, J Foster, J Zhao, IY Kong, A Leung, AYM Molassiotis, A Officer, A Mikton, C Neville, S |
Issue Date: | Dec-2022 | Source: | Australasian journal on ageing, Dec. 2022, v. 41, no. 4, p. 490-500 | Abstract: | Objectives:
In 2007, the World Health Organization published a guide on age-friendly cities. However, little is known about interventions that have been implemented to promote age-friendly communities in rural and remote areas. This paper presents the findings from a scoping review undertaken to locate available evidence of interventions, strategies, and programs that have been implemented in rural and remote areas to create age-friendly communities. Methods: This scoping review used the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. Results: A total of 219 articles were included in this review. No intervention studies were referred to as ‘age-friendly’. However, there were interventions (mostly healthcare-related) that have been implemented in rural and remote areas with older people as participants. There were also non-evaluated community programs that were published in the grey literature. This review identified the common health interventions in older people and the indirect relevance to the WHO age-friendly framework domains in rural and remote contexts. Conclusions: The eight age-friendly domains were not explicitly utilised as a guide in the development of interventions for older people in rural and remote settings. Implementation of age-friendly interventions in rural and remote areas requires a multisectoral approach that is tailored to address the specific needs of individual communities. Age-friendly interventions also need to consider socio-ecological factors to adequately and holistically address community needs and ensure long-term sustainability. |
