Not unlike the general population, the population of nurses is aging. This trend is problematic for the nursing workforce in the light of a predicted shortage yet the extent of the effect of the aging population is unknown. What should individuals older than 45 years know to mitigate the effects of aging both physically and professionally? This article describes the magnitude of the aging nursing workforce issue, explores the myths and realities related to the aging process, discusses evidence-based strategies supporting healthy aging and retention of experienced nurses in one Magnet hospital, and introduces recommendations for further study.
与一般人群一样,护士群体也在老龄化。鉴于预计会出现护士短缺,但人口老龄化的影响程度尚不清楚,这种趋势对护理劳动力来说是一个问题。45 岁以上的人应该了解哪些知识,以减轻身体和职业上的衰老影响?本文描述了老龄化护理劳动力问题的严重程度,探讨了与衰老过程相关的神话和现实,讨论了支持一家磁铁医院的健康老龄化和经验丰富护士留用的循证策略,并提出了进一步研究的建议。
