Undergraduate nurse education needs to prepare student nurses to meet the demands and to have the necessary communication skills for caring for an increasing older population. The challenges involve how best to support and empower student nurses to learn the communication skills needed to care for older people.
The aim of this study was to investigate student nurses' views on the care of and communication with older people.
A descriptive study with a mixed-method approach was conducted.
Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from a questionnaire completed by third-year Swedish student nurses in 2015.
The student nurses reported positive attitudes to the care of and communication with older people. The findings focus on the central aspects related to relationship building, techniques for communication and external prerequisites.
Despite positive attitudes, student nurses had a limited view of communication with older people. Educators need to increase student nurses' capacity to communicate effectively with older people. Educational interventions to improve and evaluate the communication competency of nurses and student nurses are needed.
本科护理教育需要培养学生护士，以满足需求并具备照顾日益增多的老年人群体所需的沟通技巧。挑战在于如何最好地支持和赋能学生护士，使其学习照顾老年人所需的沟通技巧。
本研究旨在调查学生护士对照顾老年人及与老年人沟通的看法。
采用混合方法进行描述性研究。
定量和定性数据来自2015年瑞典三年级学生护士填写的问卷。
学生护士对照顾老年人及与老年人沟通持积极态度。研究结果聚焦于与建立关系、沟通技巧和外部先决条件相关的核心方面。
尽管态度积极，但学生护士对与老年人沟通的理解有限。教育工作者需要提高学生护士与老年人有效沟通的能力。需要开展教育干预措施，以改善和评估护士及学生护士的沟通能力。
