This study investigated nursing staff attitudes toward the geriatric nurse practitioner as an agent of change in a long-term care facility, based on two University of Miami GNP students' practicum in a county nursing home. Nursing personnel were surveyed before and after the practicum to measure their acceptance of the GNP. While nursing staff initially held a wait-and-see attitude, posttest ratings were favorable. Recommendations for improving quality of care in the setting were made by student participants, and a six-month follow-up revealed that a number of changes had been implemented.
本研究基于迈阿密大学两名老年护理执业医师专业学生在一家县疗养院的实习经历，调查了长期护理机构中护理人员对老年护理执业医师作为变革推动者的态度。在实习前后对护理人员进行了调查，以衡量他们对老年护理执业医师的接受程度。虽然护理人员最初持观望态度，但测试后的评分是积极的。参与实习的学生提出了改善该机构护理质量的建议，六个月的随访显示已经实施了一些变革。
