To investigate the willingness of nursing students in Hong Kong and Mainland China to care for the elderly and to identify the factors influencing their willingness.
A correlational and cross-sectional design.
A four-part self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect data from the undergraduate nursing students in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
The total sample consisted of 820 nursing students, with 481 students in Hong Kong and 339 students in Mainland China. The scores of willingness to care for older people of the two groups were similar (mean score 4.68 versus 4.44), and no significant difference was observed between the students in the two regions (p = .071). A very low proportion of the nursing students in Hong Kong (7.7%) and those in Mainland China (3.6%) ranked caring for older people as their first choice of work. No salient predictors of willingness to care for older people existed for the nursing students in Mainland China.

相关性和横断面设计。
采用四部分自填式问卷,从香港和中国大陆的本科护理专业学生中收集数据。
总样本包括 820 名护理专业学生,其中香港 481 名,中国大陆 339 名。两组学生照顾老年人的意愿评分相似(平均得分 4.68 比 4.44),两个地区的学生之间没有显著差异(p=0.071)。香港(7.7%)和中国大陆(3.6%)的护理专业学生中,很少有人将照顾老年人作为首选工作。中国大陆的护理专业学生中,没有明显的因素可以预测他们照顾老年人的意愿。
