Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: As the global nursing workforce ages, developing a comprehensive understanding of the experiences, needs and values specific to older nurses is increasingly significant. This paper reviews the evidence with regard to the specific challenges encountered by older nurses in the workplace.
METHODS: A scoping review of the published literature was conducted using the electronic databases Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Science Direct and Google Scholar. A total of 20 papers were included in this review, most of which were qualitative (n=14). Three quantitative studies were identified (including one study which combined a physical exam with survey methods) as well as three mixed method studies.
RESULTS: The challenges faced by older nurses in their practice are synthesised across three primary domains: Nursing and the ageing body; Recognition and support of the older nurse and Demands associated with middle-age.
CONCLUSIONS: As older nurses form a substantial proportion of the healthcare workforce in many countries, the development and implementation of strategies to address these challenges is of utmost importance.

摘要：
目标：随着全球护理人员队伍的老龄化，全面了解经验，老年护士特有的需求和价值观日益显著。本文回顾了有关老年护士在工作场所遇到的具体挑战的证据。
方法：使用电子数据库Medline对已发表的文献进行范围审查，CINAHL,PsycINFO,科学直接和谷歌学者。这篇综述共包括20篇论文，大多数是定性的(n=14)。确定了三项定量研究（包括一项将身体检查与调查方法相结合的研究）以及三项混合方法研究。
结果：老年护士在实践中面临的挑战综合在三个主要领域：护理和衰老的身体；对老年护士的认可和支持以及与中年相关的需求。
结论：由于老年护士在许多国家的医疗队伍中占有相当大的比例，制定和实施应对这些挑战的战略至关重要。
