This Nursing Reports Special Issue will focus on nursing interventions to improve healthcare for older adults. Systematic/scoping/narrative reviews or protocols of reviews related to these interventions are welcome. One of the primary aims is to identify effective nursing strategies that enhance the quality of life and healthcare outcomes for older adults. These interventions are aimed at promoting patient satisfaction, addressing the unique needs of older adults, and improving adherence to treatment through effective nurse–patient communication.
