Although the demand for aged residential care increases, low use of aged residential care by Indigenous people raises questions about unrecognised barriers to health care. The objectives of this systematic literature review are to (a) examine current scientific literature that reports older Indigenous people’s experiences in aged residential care and (b) describe critical factors that shape Indigenous people’s preferences in aged residential care settings. We conducted a systematic review of studies using an online search of the literature. A total of 6,233 citations were retrieved, and 45 studies examined in full-text. Eight studies met the study inclusion criteria. Indigenous older people were found to be younger, had higher prevalence of complex health conditions, and were less likely to receive dental and mental health services on admission to aged residential care. Their preferences for care were more likely to be evident in aged residential care facilities where the Indigenous composition of staff reflected the Indigenous makeup of its residents.

尽管对养老院护理的需求增加，但是土著居民对养老院护理的低使用引发了人们对未被认识到的医疗保健障碍的质疑。这篇系统的文献综述的目的是（a）研究当前的科学文献，这些文献报告了老年人在养老院的经历，以及（b）描述了影响老年人在养老院环境中偏好的关键因素。我们使用文献在线搜索对研究进行了系统的综述。总共检索到6,233篇文献，对45篇研究进行了全文审查。八项研究符合研究纳入标准。发现土著老年人较年轻，复杂的健康状况患病率较高，并且在接受老年居所护理时不太可能获得牙科和心理健康服务。他们对护理的偏爱更可能在老龄化的住宿护理设施中得到体现，那里的工作人员的土著构成反映了其居民的土著构成。
