45^th World Nursing and Healthcare Conference

Geriatric Nursing and Healthy Aging

Geriatric Nursing focuses on the comprehensive care of older adults, addressing age-related physiological changes, chronic diseases, mental health conditions, and quality of life enhancement. This session will explore gerontological assessment, dementia care, Alzheimer’s disease management, fall prevention, frailty care, and medication management in elderly populations. Participants will examine rehabilitation strategies, palliative care approaches, long-term care planning, and home-based care models that support aging with dignity. The session will highlight the importance of promoting independence, mobility, nutrition, and psychosocial well-being among older adults. Discussions will include caregiver support, end-of-life care, ethical issues in geriatric nursing, and communication strategies for cognitively impaired patients. Innovations in elder care, including assistive technologies, smart monitoring systems, and age-friendly healthcare environments, will also be explored. The session aims to enhance geriatric nursing skills while promoting healthy aging and improving the quality of life for the global elderly population.
