Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to progress and socio-economic development, living conditions are improving, and this consequently means that on average, citizens are reaching older ages and life expectancy is increasing in all citizens. All of these circumstances have led to ageing in communities.
Indeed, the number and proportion of people aged 60 years and older in the population is increasing. In 2019, the number of people aged 60 years and older was 1 billion. This number will increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050 (World Health Organization, 2021).
However, the increase in life expectancy does not automatically indicate improvements in health conditions. This scenario creates many challenges for citizens and healthcare professionals, and nursing care for older adults has its own set of challenges.
With the aim of advancing research, scholarship, caring science, and academic discourse in the field, this Special Issue of IJERPH seeks original commentaries, research, short reports, and literature reviews related to innovations, issues, and challenges in nursing care for older adults.
It will be possible to create a better world for this population through collaborative efforts to build a community of healthy and empowered older adults.
