Multidimensional factors affecting homebound older adults: A systematic review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo systematically identify the multidimensional factors affecting homebound older adults.
designSystematic review.
methodsWe searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO from inception to November 15, 2020. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies was used for quality assessment.
findingsNineteen studies met the review criteria; the studies were either cross-sectional or longitudinal. Most studies have focused on personal factors affecting homebound older adults. The individual construct consisted of demographic, biological, psychological, functional, and health-related factors. The structural construct included architectural, environmental, community, and social factors. Based on the different definitions of homebound used in the studies, the prevalence of homebound status ranged from 3.5% to 39.8%.
conclusionsThe prevalence of homebound status among older adults varied depending on how homebound was defined. Homebound status is the interaction between the individual and structural constructs. Variations in cultural, political, and economic conditions could influence homebound status across countries over time. Comprehensive assessment and interventions for homebound older adults based on multidisciplinary approaches are recommended for nurses. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This research will impact the development of nursing strategies to screen homebound older adults and provide targeted preventive interventions so that older adults with many risk factors do not become homebound.
