Abstract

Introduction: The elderly population is rapidly growing, and healthcare professionals are currently providing increased care for the elderly. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an elective geriatric nursing course on the attitude of students toward the elderly and students’ willingness to work with them. Materials and Method: This study was a quasi-experimental. Pretest-posttest design was used. The sample comprised 108 nursing students (46 of the students were educated in an elective geriatric nursing course, 62 were educated in an elective emergency and surgery nursing course). The Student Information Form and Kogan’s Attitudes Towards Old People Scale were used. Value, average, percentage frequency distribution, paired t tests, independent t test, McNemar’s test, and chi-square test were used. Results: Students who participated in the elective geriatric nursing course developed more positive and less negative attitudes toward the elderly after the course in comparison with students who participated in the elective emergency and surgery nursing course. Conclusion: It is important that the curriculum of the geriatric nursing course should create awareness and knowledge in students regarding care of and attitudes toward the elderly. Adopting a more positive and less negative attitude ensures a higher quality care for the elderly. There is a need to revise the nursing curriculum and develop innovative schemes that will increase the students’ willingness to work with the elderly

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlı nüfusu giderek artmakta ve sağlık bakım profesyonelleri yaşlılara daha fazla hizmet verir hale gelmektedir. Bu araştırma, geriatri hemşireliği seçmeli dersinin öğrencilerin yaşlı bakımı konusundaki tutum ve yaşlıyla çalışma istekliliği üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma yarı deneyseldir. Ön test son test modeli kullanılmıştır. Örneklem sayısı 108 hemşirelik öğrencisidir (öğrencilerin 46'sı seçmeli geriatri hemşireliği dersini, 62'si seçmeli acil ve cerrahi hemşireliği dersini almıştır). Öğrenci Bilgi Formu ve Kogan Yaşlı İnsanlara Karşı Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ortalama, yüzde frekans dağılımı, iki eş arasındaki farkın önemlilik testi, iki ortalama arasındaki farkın önemlilik testi, McNemar testi, ki kare testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Seçmeli geriatri hemşireliği dersi alan öğrenciler, seçmeli acil ve cerrahi hemşireliği dersi alan öğrencilerle karşılaştırıldığında, ders sonrasında yaşlılara yönelik daha pozitif ve daha az negatif tutum oluşturmuştur. Sonuç: Yaşlılara yönelik tutum ve bakım hakkında farkındalık ve bilgi sağlamak amacıyla hemşirelik müfredatlarının geriatri derslerini içermesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Daha fazla pozitif daha az negatif tutum sergilemek yaşlılara yönelik daha fazla kaliteli bakım sunulması anlamına gelmektedir. Hemşirelik müfredatının, öğrencilerin, yaşlılarla çalışmak konusunda isteklilik durumlarını arttırmak üzere, yeniden düzenlenmesine ve yenilikçi yaklaşımlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır
