The care of older people was described as involving substantial emotion-related affordances. Scholars in vocational training and nursing disagree whether emotion-related skills could be conceptualized and assessed as a professional competence. Studies on emotion work and empathy regularly neglect the multidimensionality of these phenomena and their relation to the care process, and are rarely conclusive with respect to nursing behavior in practice. To test the status of emotion-related skills as a facet of client-directed geriatric nursing competence, 402 final-year nursing students from 24 German schools responded to a 62-item computer-based test. 14 items were developed to represent emotion-related affordances. Multi-dimensional IRT modeling was employed to assess a potential subdomain structure. Emotion-related test items did not form a separate subdomain, and were found to be discriminating across the whole competence continuum. Tasks concerning emotion work and empathy are reliable indicators for various levels of client-directed nursing competence. Claims for a distinct emotion-related competence in geriatric nursing, however, appear excessive with a process-oriented perspective.
老年人护理被描述为涉及大量与情感相关的可供性。职业培训和护理领域的学者对于与情感相关的技能是否可以被概念化并评估为一种专业能力存在分歧。关于情感劳动和同理心的研究经常忽视这些现象的多维度性及其与护理过程的关系，并且在实践中的护理行为方面很少有定论。为了测试与情感相关的技能作为以客户为导向的老年护理能力一个方面的地位，来自德国24所学校的402名护理专业最后一年的学生对一项基于计算机的62项测试做出了回应。开发了14个项目来代表与情感相关的可供性。采用多维度IRT建模来评估潜在的子领域结构。与情感相关的测试项目没有形成一个单独的子领域，并且发现在整个能力连续体中具有区分性。与情感劳动和同理心相关的任务是不同水平的以客户为导向的护理能力的可靠指标。然而，从以过程为导向的角度来看，声称老年护理中存在一种独特的与情感相关的能力似乎有些过分。
