Nurses' Knowledge and Associated Factors Towards Geriatric Care in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Geriatric care involves providing comprehensive support and healthcare services to older adults aged 65 years and above. Nurses serve as a cornerstone in the delivery of effective geriatric care. However, existing primary studies in Ethiopia present inconsistent and fragmented findings, and there is no comprehensive nationwide data on this topic.

Objective

This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the pooled prevalence of knowledge about geriatric care and its associated factors among nurses in Ethiopia.

Methods

Relevant studies were systematically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar up to April 2025. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel and analyzed with STATA version 17
