Objective

In Australia, over 6,000 adults younger than 65 have been inappropriately placed in nursing homes designed to accommodate older adults. The primary aim of this review was to map the literature on the experiences and outcomes of young people with disability who are placed in aged care.

Methods

A scoping review of the published literature from 2009–2018 was conducted using Embase, Medline, PsycINFO and Scopus.

Results

Eleven articles were identified (7 qualitative, 3 mixed methods, 1 quantitative). Results demonstrated the inability of aged care facilities to meet the basic human needs of young people (e.g., privacy, physical, sexual, social, nutritional, emotional need) and highlighted the lack of choice young people with disability have in regards to rehabilitation and housing. There was limited data relating to the trajectory and support needs of young people placed in aged care facilities.

Conclusions

This review highlights the negative outcomes young people experience while living in aged care. Future research should investigate the trajectory and support needs of young people in aged care facilities. Systemic changes are required to meet the needs of young people with complex needs at risk of admission to aged care including timely rehabilitation and housing and support options.

进行范围界定的审查，以探索在养老院中的年轻人的经验和结果。

目的

在澳大利亚，有6,000多名65岁以下的成年人被不适当地安置在旨在容纳老年人的养老院中。这篇综述的主要目的是将有关老年护理中残疾青年的经验和结果的文献作图。

方法

使用Embase，Medline，PsycINFO和Scopus对2009-2018年发表的文献进行了范围界定性审查。

结果

鉴定了11篇文章（7种定性，3种混合方法，1种定量）。结果表明，老年护理设施无法满足年轻人的基本人类需求（例如，隐私，身体，性，社会，营养，情感需求），并着重指出残疾青年在康复和住房方面缺乏选择。关于安置在老年护理机构中的年轻人的轨迹和支持需求的数据有限。

结论

这篇评论强调了年轻人在老年护理中所经历的负面结果。未来的研究应调查老年护理机构中年轻人的轨迹和支持需求。需要进行系统的改变，以适应有复杂风险的年轻人的需求，这些年轻人可能需要接受老年护理，包括及时的康复，住宿和支持选择。
