... For older adults, research has predominantly concentrated on physical health problems such as infection and mortality rates. Scientific evidence reporting the psychological and social health impacts of COVID-19 among older adults is limited (Verbiest et al., 2022).

... In the case of NH care, the users of scientific knowledge are nursing and healthcare students and practitioners, and their teachers and educators. A recently published scoping review on the facilitators and barriers to learning among practice-trained students and practicing caregivers in NHs showed that they learn better when their learning needs are incorporated into educational programs, such as needs related to content, form, length, and use of language (Muller-Schoof et al., 2021). ...
