This paper is based on a survey of 104 nurses of varying grades and experience working with elderly people in nursing homes and hospitals in an inner-London health district. The aim was to establish the veracity of a hypothesis which stated that nursing home staff would express greater job satisfaction and perceive their environments more positively than hospital staff. Most nurses in all settings were satisfied with their work, although less than one-third reported their reason for applying for their current post as a preference for working with elderly people. The authors conclude that, although favourable views were recorded, the negativity and dissatisfaction expressed by the nurses is evidence of the low status and appeal of the specialty.
本文基于对伦敦市中心一个卫生区养老院和医院中104名不同级别和工作经验、照料老年人的护士的调查。目的是验证一个假设的真实性，该假设称养老院工作人员比医院工作人员对工作更满意，对工作环境的看法也更积极。所有环境中的大多数护士都对工作满意，尽管不到三分之一的人表示他们申请当前职位的原因是更愿意照料老年人。作者得出结论，虽然记录到了一些积极的观点，但护士们表达的消极和不满证明了该专业地位低下且吸引力不足。
