Implication

Qualitative systematic review highlights barriers and enablers of older people's communication in primary care, suggesting ways to enhance patient safety.

Key Points

Barriers to communication include patients' perceptions and relationships with staff, affecting quality of care.
Critical factors such as memory and reluctance to address concerns hinder effective exchanges between patients and providers.
The study used a meta-ethnographic approach to synthesize findings from twelve qualitative studies, capturing diverse insights.
Identifying barriers and enablers emphasizes the need for interventions to improve communication in primary care for older adults.
