Design Details
1. Review ID
(surname of first author and year first full report of study was published e.g. Smith 2001)
Giradeau 2019
2. Review title
Intergenerational programs: What can school‑age children and older people expect from them? A systematic review
3. Date form completed
05/08/2022
4. Initials of person extracting
BN
5. Review funding source
This work was supported by the EA-2114 Psychologie des Ages de la Vie (Francois-Rabelais University).
6. Possible conflicts of interest
None declared
7. Aim of review
(1) characterize and define the IGPs studied and (2) identify the benefits for school-age children and older people aged 60 years or over.
8. Number of databases searched
3
9. Names of databases searched; date ranges of databases searched
PsycINFO, MedLine, and PubMed
10. Date of last search
between 2005-2015
11. Number of included studies
11
12. Exclusion criteria for participants
(e.g age, comorbidities)
school-age children and older adults (60 years and over). Studies with adults aged over 60, wherever they lived (nursing home, assisted living facilities, at home, etc.) and with children aged 5 to 12 years. Excluded: focused on people only indirectly involved in IGPs (staff, families, etc.).
13. Exclusion criteria for volunteering
(e.g type of volunteering, for a specific organistion/purpose)
Intergenerational programmes.
14. Exclusion criteria for study type
we included only studies published between January 2005 and January 2015 in order to have a clear overview of the current situation and to identify the benefits of IGPs for the generations today. Studies with different designs (interviews, focus group, experimental research) assessing the benefits of IGPs for children and older adults (needed to look at empiorical application). Book chapters, comments or guest editorials were also excluded.
15. Exclusion criteria for outcome measures
None.
16. Outcomes studied
(select all that apply)
Psychological
Physical
Social
General
17. Primary reported outcomes
Benefits for school-aged children and older adults
18. Secondary reported outcomes (if applicable)
None
19. Number of participants included in the review
The number of participants in the studies varied considerably, from 7 to 380 children, and 5 to 141 adults. (from 11 to 46 older adults for the studies I'm extracting)
20. Review’s included study type (% of quant studies)
4 quant, 2 qual, 5 mixed
21. Included studies countries of publication
Seven of the 11 studies were conducted in the USA, three in Japan and one in Israel. (3 US and 1 Israel for the studies I'm extracting)
22. Range of included studies years of publication
2005-2014 (of the 4 I'm extracting)
23. Review’s population
(age, ethnicity, SES)
Children and older adults
24. Social outcomes reported
25. Social outcomes not supported
(e.g cited as non-significant)
26. Physical outcomes reported
27. Physical outcomes not supported
(e.g cited as non-significant)
28. Psychological outcomes reported
29. Psychological outcomes not supported
(e.g cited as non-significant)
30. General outcomes reported
(i.e general health and wellbeing)
Older adults: increased their empowerment score (1), had fewer depressive symptoms and better mental health over the period of the program (1).
31. General outcomes not supported
(e.g cited as non-significant)
32. Interactions reported
(i.e between each other or demographic variables)
1 study compared two IGPs: traditional IGPs (e.g., playing board games) and a community-service activity. Results indicated that older participants preferred to be engaged in a community-service activity rather than in a traditional activity.
33. Was a meta-analysis performed?
-- Select response --
Yes
No
34. Number of included studies in the meta-analysis
35. Heterogeneity
(e.g I squared)
36. Pooled estimates
37. Confidence intervals (95%)
38. Key conclusions from study authors
Our systematic review highlights the conditions for an IGP to be effective and beneficial. Based on our results, the most salient factors for the success of the program and the benefits to participants concern first the meaningfulness of the activity, and secondly the knowledge that participants have of each other. First, the meaningfulness of activities seems to be essential, and particularly the sense of being useful. being able to help or provide meaningful assistance to children is a key issue of participating in an IGP.
39. Review limitations
Indeed, the mixed results observed in this systematic review could be due to the heterogeneity of study methodologies and/or IGPs. Furthermore, more standardized measurements should be provided, particularly for older people without dementia and for school-age children who can be assessed and can respond to questionnaires.
40. AMSTAR 2 quality appraisal rating
