Abstract

Introduction: Ageism is an ideology and process that can evolve into a discrimination against the elderly because of their old age, similar to the prejudices and stereotypes inherent in racism and sexism. Ageism can be observed in health care and can affect the quality of care provided to the elderly. This descriptive study aimed to determine surgical nurses' attitudes towardsthe elderly.Materials and Method: The study was conducted with 337 nurses who worked at surgeryclinics in hospitals located in Trabzon, Turkey. The data were gathered using the Ageism Attitude Scale and a Personal Information Form. Results: The mean Ageism Attitude Scale score and mean subscale scores of surgical nurseswere high indicating that their attitudes towards aged were generally positive. Statistically significant differences were observed between mean total Ageism Attitude Scale scores in terms ofsurgical nurses' educational status and their choice to work with the elderly at the clinics. Nearlyone-fourth of the nurses stated that they experienced communication problems when interactingwith the elderly. Conclusion: It is necessary to identify hindrances to effective communication and developways to improve communication skills. Furthermore, subjects related to ageing need to be incorporated into the current nursing education curriculum

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlı ayrımcılığı yaşlılara yönelik bir ayrımcılık, ırk ayrımcılığı ve cinsiyet ayrımcılığı gibieyleme dönüşebilen bir ideoloji türüdür. Yaşlı ayrımcılığı sağlık bakımında görülebilmekte ve yaşlıların bakım kalitesini etkileyebilmektedir. Bu tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışma cerrahi hemşirelerinin yaşlılara ilişkin tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma Türkiye'nin Trabzon ilindeki hastanelerin cerrahi kliniklerinde çalışan 337 hemşire ile yapıldı. Veriler Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılarak toplandı.Bulgular: Cerrahi hemşirelerinin Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları, yaşlılara karşı tutumlarının genellikle olumlu olduğunu gösterecek şekilde yüksekti. Cerrahi hemşirelerinin eğitim durumları ve klinikte yaşlılarla çalışmayı isteme durumları yönünden Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark vardı. Hemşirelerin yaklaşık dörtte biri yaşlılarla ilişkilerinde iletişim problemleri yaşadığını ifade etti.Sonuç: Etkili iletişimi engelleyen durumlar belirlenmeli ve iletişim yeteneklerini geliştirici yöntemler geliştirilmelidir. Ayrıca, yaşlanmaya ilişkin konular mevcut hemşirelik eğitim müfredatınadahil edilmelidir
