Abstract [en]

People aged 65 years or older with complex care needs are at risk of fragmented care. This may jeopardise patient safety. Complex care needs are defined as care needs that require the performance of time-consuming processes such as reviewing medical history, providing counselling, and prescribing medications. A scoping review was conducted with the aim of mapping the literature regarding continuity of care from the perspective of older people with complex care needs. Search results from seven databases (PubMed, Cinahl, PsycInfo, ASSIA, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, DOAJ), grey literature (BASE), and a hand-search search of key journals were used. A deductive analysis based on aspects of continuity of care was performed. The search resulted in 5704 records. After a title and abstract screening, 93 records remained. In total, 18 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the scoping review. Older people's sense of continuity of care increases when fewer healthcare workers are involved in their care but help from skilled professionals is more important than meeting the same person. It is vital for older people's feeling of continuity of care that discharge planning involves them, their families, and care providers in an organised way. (c) 2023 The Author(s).
