This study focuses on nurse educators' perspectives on teaching gerontology within nursing curricula in two cultures. An increasing aging multi-cultural population with large caring needs requires not only informal elder care provided by family members, but also professional nursing staff trained in gerontology. The of this study was to explore how Swedish and Thai nurse educators describe the role of teaching gerontology within nursing educations in Sweden and Thailand. : Qualitative open-ended interviews with 13 Swedish and Thai nurse educators were conducted and analyzed with qualitative content analysis. : There is a lack of gerontological nursing competence in faculty, as well as bureaucracy impeding necessary changes of curricula, together with difficulties in highlighting positive and cultural aspects of aging. : Pedagogical strategies need to be developed by nurse educators specialized in cross-cultural gerontology to improve current and future nursing educations in both countries.
本研究聚焦于两种文化背景下护士教育工作者对护理课程中老年医学教学的看法。日益老龄化的多元文化人口有着巨大的护理需求，这不仅需要家庭成员提供的非正式老年护理，还需要接受过老年医学培训的专业护理人员。本研究的目的是探讨瑞典和泰国的护士教育工作者如何描述老年医学在瑞典和泰国护理教育中的教学作用。方法：对13名瑞典和泰国护士教育工作者进行了定性开放式访谈，并采用定性内容分析法进行分析。结果：教师缺乏老年护理能力，官僚作风阻碍课程的必要变革，同时难以突出老龄化的积极和文化方面。结论：需要由专门从事跨文化老年医学的护士教育工作者制定教学策略，以改善两国当前和未来的护理教育。
