Abstract

Relatively few nursing students choose to specialize in geriatric nursing. While increased clinical exposure and improved knowledge of the elderly have been proposed to manage this staffing dilemma, successful strategies have not been identified. This study examined nursing students' attitudes and knowledge about the elderly, before and after service learning experiences in Senior Citizen Centers. Through these interventions, students had significantly improved attitudes and knowledge about the elderly.

摘要

相对较少的护理专业学生选择老年护理专业。虽然有人提出增加临床接触机会和提高对老年人的了解来解决这一人员配备难题，但尚未找到成功的策略。本研究调查了护理专业学生在老年中心进行服务学习前后对老年人的态度和知识。通过这些干预措施，学生们对老年人的态度和知识有了显著改善。
