A Sense of Control and Wellbeing in Older People Living with Frailty: A Scoping Review
Authors: Nyende, A., Ellis-Hill, C. and Mantzoukas, S.
Abstract:A sense of control is important for supporting older people living with frailty to develop adaptive functioning to optimize wellbeing. This scoping review examined the literature on the sense of control and wellbeing in older people living with frailty within their everyday life and care service use. Nine databases were searched using the timeframe 2000 to 2021 to identify key ideas regarding control and wellbeing in older people with frailty. The review highlighted three major themes: a) Control as conveyed in bodily expressions and daily activities, b) Sense of control and influence of place of residence, and c) Control within health and social care relationships. Maintaining a sense of control is not only an internal feeling but is impacted by physical and social environments. Greater focus is needed on the nature of relationships between older people living with frailty and those who work alongside them, which support control and wellbeing.

Abstract:Older people living with frailty are more likely to develop and live with complex co-morbidities linked to chronic illnesses, injuries and decreased bodily reserve and functional capacity all of which contribute to personal and social restrictions. A sense of control is considered an important psychological resource in supporting older people living with frailty to recover physical functions and develop adaptive functioning and coping skills to optimise wellbeing. However, evidence about sense of control in older people living with frailty is limited. A review, using the Levac at al. (2010) scoping review methodology, was carried out to identify the key ideas around control and wellbeing in older people living with frailty. Nine databases were searched from 2000 to 2021 using keywords, synonyms and truncations covering the topics ‘older people’, ‘frailty’, ‘sense of control’, ‘wellbeing’, ‘community’, ‘hospital’ and ’nursing/care home’. Of the 4,438 screened studies, 34 were eligible for inclusion. The review highlighted four major themes: Control, quality of life, and wellbeing in older people living with frailty; Control as an intersecting concept; Living setting and sense of control in older people living with frailty; and Strategies for maintaining control in older people living with frailty. The review highlighted the need for more qualitative research in order to focus on the older persons’ experience of reality rather than just observable and practical aspects or views of others (formal, informal carers). It is therefore important to focus on the experiences of control and wellbeing as experientially lived by older people living with frailty.
