Background: Pharmacists must cater to seniors' needs and communicate better in delivering pharmaceutical care. However, pharmaceutical care for seniors is unique since they commonly depend on support from their social environment. Our study aimed to collect perceptions and experiences of Asian seniors regarding social support. Methods: A qualitative systematic review of peer-reviewed articles between January 2012 and January 2022 was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Academic Search Complete via EBSCOhost, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Selected studies were extracted, and thematic synthesis was performed. Results: A total of 23 qualitative studies with diverse rigor were included in this review. Themes that emerged around perceptions and experiences of social support were (1) family orientation, (2) having faith in religion, (3) the importance of the elderly providing support, (4) taboos, (5) elderly self-reliance, (6) elderly fear of being a burden, and (7) differences on perceptions and experiences regarding social support. A discussion on how these results may contribute to pharmacy practice is provided. Conclusion: This study reviews the available social support for seniors and highlights its importance for pharmacists.
