Hospitalized older adults require special attention due to their health needs, such as managing various medical conditions, preventing falls and ulcers, pain and disability. Therefore, nurses play a vital role in the care of these patients, as they provide direct and constant attention to them in all aspects fundamental to their overall well-being. Objective. To identify the factors that influence the quality of care provided by nursing staff to hospitalized older adults. Methodology. A systematic review was carried out in the following databases: Scopus, Scielo and Wos. Eighty-three documents were analyzed after applying the proposed inclusion and exclusion criteria; the publications show that the quality of nursing care is currently influenced by the following factors: coordination and continuity of care, deepening of specialized knowledge, integration of technology and innovation, patient-centered care, interdisciplinary collaboration and practice environment. Conclusion. Care of hospitalized older adults requires coordination, continuity, and specialized training to address complex illnesses and adapt to individual needs. Technology improves care, but privacy must be protected. Patient focus, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a collaborative environment are essential for effective care.
