Background of the Study
Healthy aging is a critical component of public health as populations around the world, including in Nigeria, age rapidly. In Kebbi State, the elderly population faces numerous challenges, including limited access to healthcare services, social isolation, and inadequate nutrition (Umar et al., 2024). Nurses play a pivotal role in promoting healthy aging by providing education on disease prevention, offering support for chronic conditions, and promoting physical and mental well-being among older adults.
Despite the increasing importance of healthy aging, there is limited research on the role of nurses in promoting healthy aging in Kebbi State. Nurses can play an integral role by helping elderly individuals manage chronic diseases, encouraging physical activity, and offering mental health support. This study aims to explore the role of nurses in promoting healthy aging in Kebbi State, with a focus on their involvement in care and education for older adults.

Although nurses are key players in promoting healthy aging, their roles in Kebbi State have not been adequately explored. There is limited information on how nurses educate and support older adults to achieve and maintain good health in the face of aging-related challenges. This study seeks to investigate the role of nurses in supporting healthy aging and to identify strategies for improving their involvement in elderly care in Kebbi State.
