To explores nursing faculty members' attitudes towards older people, their thoughts about gerontological nursing education.
Five focus groups and a survey were used with nursing faculty members 132 at the three nursing schools to explore their attitudes towards the care of older people and the perceived status of gerontological nursing education. The survey was given to 132 faculty members, including 76 clinical instructors, 40 associate professors and 16 professors. The nursing faculty in general had a positive attitude toward older people (M=3.36, SD 0.25), and teachers' attitudes were higher than those of their nursing students (M=3.18, SD0.29).
This study results suggests that Saudi nursing curricula should include more extensive gerontology content and clinical experience with older people.
This is the first time in Saudi Arabia that research has listened to their voices and examined their commitments toward gerontology education.
探讨护理教员对老年人的态度以及他们对老年护理教育的看法。
对三所护理学校的132名护理教员进行了五次焦点小组讨论和一项调查，以探讨他们对老年人护理的态度以及老年护理教育的认知状况。该调查面向132名教员，包括76名临床讲师、40名副教授和16名教授。护理教员总体上对老年人持积极态度（M = 3.36，标准差0.25），教师的态度高于他们的护理学生（M = 3.18，标准差0.29）。
本研究结果表明，沙特的护理课程应包括更广泛的老年学内容以及与老年人的临床经验。
这是沙特阿拉伯首次开展研究倾听他们的声音，并审视他们对老年学教育的承诺。
