Özet

Amaç: Araştırma, hemşirelerin COVID-19 salgını döneminde yaşlı ayrımcılığına ve yaşlılara yönelik tutumlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Kesitsel, tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipteki bu çalışma 15 Temmuz-15 Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmanın verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği (YATÖ) ve Kogan Yaşlılara Karşı Tutum Ölçeği ile toplandı. Formlar online olarak (e-mail, whatsapp) katılımcılara gönderildi. Anketlere geri dönüş sağlayan ve dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 211 hemşire araştırmaya dahil edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmada, hemşirelerin Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği (YATÖ) puan ortalaması orta (71.96±3.88) ve alt boyutlardan yaşlıların yaşamını sınırlama puan ortalaması yüksekti (30.19±2.24). Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin Kogan Yaşlılara Karşı Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması da orta (104.90±13.23) ve alt boyutlardan negatif tutum puan ortalaması yüksekti (53.84±9.21).
