Abstract

Introduction: Senior citizen care, as a salient concern within society, requires continuous exploration and assessment to adapt to the evolving demands of an aging global population. This study sought to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics and challenges of elderly care by examining the relevant literature. Methodology: A systematic literature review (SLR) was employed, utilizing the PRISMA flow diagram for article selection. Databases such as Web of Science were extensively scoured using keywords related to senior citizen care. Articles and book chapters published in English from 2010 to 2023 were included, with an emphasis on achieving methodological consistency and avoiding biases. Results: The analysis covered 466 documents with an average annual growth rate of 8.28%. Major contributing journals included "Frontiers in Psychology" And "Health & Social Care in The Community," among others. Key themes elucidated included care work, elderly care, familial roles, societal expectations, and the impact of regional cultural contexts. Significant emphasis was placed on mental health, with terms like anxiety, depression, and stress making frequent appearances. Implications: The study offers profound implications for policymakers, caregivers, and researchers, suggesting a holistic caregiving approach. It emphasizes the necessity for updated caregiver training modules, heightened community and governmental support, and culturally sensitive elder care strategies. Furthermore, the inter sectionality of general health and elderly care uncovered encourages healthcare professionals to inculcate an age-inclusive methodology.
