To analyze the status and problems of comprehensive geriatric assessment nursing research in China to provide a reference for future researches in this field.

Using the major database, including China CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of science, Cochrane, PubMed, Wliey Online Library and CINAHL, the thesis analyzes the literatures on comprehensive assessment of China geriatric nursing research, which were published before December 31, 2017.

It was found that 117 articles in total were included, among which the first one was published in 2007, and the rate hadgrew significantly since 2016. The first authors mainly concentrated in the eastern region of our country, with less funds support. Most literatures focused on the applied research on comprehensive geriatric assessment of nursing model, which accounted for 70.94%; experimental studies were the main research type, accounting for 51.28%. Among the 82 experimental studies, the top 5 outcome indicators were quality of life, patient satisfaction, the incidence of adverse events, health economic indexes and patient function.

There are few literatures about the comprehensive nursing evaluation of the elderly in China, and their quality is low in general. So we should strengthen the key research of the evaluation tools, and explore a multi-dimensional comprehensive geriatric assessment of nursing model.
