Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin iki yaş grubundaki hemşirelerin yaşlıların bakımı hakkındaki algılarını ve çalışma deneyimlerini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Materyal ve metodlar: Nitel tanımlayıcı araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini X ve Y kuşaklarını temsil eden 68 dahiliye ve cerrahi hemşiresi oluşturmuştur. Veriler, demografik bilgi formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tematik analiz yapılmıştır. Bulgular: X kuşağı için genel temalar; bakım süresi, duygusal tepkiler ve yaşlı hastalar için kaynaklar sağlamadır. Y kuşağının genel temaları; artan iş yükü ve zaman sorunları, yaşlıların sınıflandırılması ve bütünsel bakıma duyulan ihtiyaçlardır. Sonuç: Tüm hemşireler yaşlılara bakmanın zor olduğunu belirtmekle birlikte yaşlıların ihtiyaçlarını vurguladılar. Bu, yaşlı insanların bakımını organize etmenin önemli bir bileşeni olabilir. Yaşlıların bakımında hemşirelerin yaşadıkları zorlukları azaltmak için çalışma koşullarının düzenlenmesi tavsiye edilir.
