This study describes Registered Nurses' perceptions of geriatric rehabilitation nursing as well as their experiences of working in the rehabilitation of older patients in Denmark, Finland and Norway. The aim was to gain deeper insights into how Registered Nurses think about geriatric rehabilitation nursing and how their perceptions differ in these countries. The data were collected among 600 Registered Nurses using a structured questionnaire with five background items and 88 geriatric rehabilitation nursing items. The response rate was 65%. Data analysis was with SPSS statistical software. Geriatric rehabilitation nursing was experienced as something that required knowledge and experience, patience and creativity, as well as professional skills. The nurses talked with their patients about their rehabilitation goals, but not all nurses were aware of those goals. Progress in the rehabilitation process was evaluated on a daily basis and results were noted in the patients' records. The nurses motivated patients by giving them positive feedback, by preventing pain, by pausing to share with the patients their joy about progress, and by giving the patients the opportunity to cope with daily activities. The Registered Nurses in Denmark were more team oriented and they set out the goals in the patient's records more often than their colleagues did in Finland and Norway.
本研究描述了注册护士对老年康复护理的看法，以及他们在丹麦、芬兰和挪威从事老年患者康复工作的经历。目的是更深入地了解注册护士对老年康复护理的看法，以及这些国家的护士看法有何不同。通过一份包含5项背景问题和88项老年康复护理问题的结构化问卷，收集了600名注册护士的数据。回复率为65%。使用SPSS统计软件进行数据分析。老年康复护理被认为是一项需要知识和经验、耐心和创造力以及专业技能的工作。护士会与患者讨论他们的康复目标，但并非所有护士都清楚这些目标。每天评估康复过程的进展情况，并将结果记录在患者病历中。护士通过给予患者积极反馈、预防疼痛、停下来与患者分享康复进展的喜悦以及让患者有机会应对日常活动来激励患者。丹麦的注册护士更注重团队协作，他们比芬兰和挪威的同行更频繁地在患者病历中设定目标。
