BACKGROUND The arts are powerful methods of enhancing social engagement and well-being in older adulthood. Literature on arts utility in translating knowledge about ageing and related processes is emerging but poorly understood. We conducted a scoping review to map research on how the arts are used for awareness, communication, and knowledge translation in older adulthood. METHODS We consulted a research librarian, comprehensively searched four interdisciplinary databases, systematically screened 1321 articles and extracted data from 11 included articles. RESULTS Articles predominantly originated from the Health Sciences, were informed by qualitative data, and were developed linearly, from problem identification to art development. Performance theatre was the most commonly employed narrative approach. CONCLUSIONS Approaches to arts development in this context do not maximize collaboration and participant engagement, thereby reducing potential impacts of arts for older persons. We propose a cyclical and collaborative alternative to developing arts strategies for combined communicative and engagement purposes.

使用艺术提高成年期的意识、交流和知识翻译：范围审查。

背景技术艺术是增强老年人社会参与度和幸福感的有力方法。关于在翻译衰老和相关过程知识方面的艺术效用的文献正在涌现，但知之甚少。我们进行了一项范围界定审查，以绘制关于艺术如何用于老年人的意识、交流和知识翻译的研究。方法 我们咨询了研究图书馆员，综合检索了四个跨学科数据库，系统筛选了 1321 篇文章，并从 11 篇纳入文章中提取了数据。结果 文章主要来自健康科学，以定性数据为基础，并线性发展，从问题识别到艺术发展。表演剧场是最常用的叙事方法。结论 在这种情况下，艺术发展的方法并没有最大限度地提高合作和参与者的参与度，从而减少了艺术对老年人的潜在影响。我们提出了一种循环和协作的替代方案，以开发用于结合交流和参与目的的艺术策略。
