Equitable Aging Among Migrants: A Concept Analysis and Model Development for Transcultural Nursing Care

Introduction: Older migrants often face systemic barriers such as limited access to health care, social support, and culturally appropriate services, which hinder dignified aging. This concept analysis aims to define equitable aging among migrants and develop a model to guide transcultural nursing care. Methodology: Using Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method, a systematic search following PRISMA-ScR guidelines yielded 351 records. After deduplication, 349 titles and abstracts were screened, 138 full-text articles were reviewed, and 68 studies were included in the final analysis. Results: Three defining attributes of equitable aging were identified: fair and just provision of health and social care; elimination of systemic barriers; and inclusive culturally responsive care. A conceptual model was developed, aligning equitable aging with key principles of transcultural nursing. Discussion: This concept analysis offers greater conceptual clarity on equitable aging among migrants and identifies defining attributes that may inform future development of theoretical models and culturally responsive practices.
