AIM
The aim of this study was to explore predictors of nurses' willingness to handle abuse of older people.
BACKGROUND
Abuse of older people is a long-discussed healthcare issue worldwide. Although nurses are considered capable of identifying and reporting cases of abuse of older people, no study has been conducted in Taiwan on nurses' willingness to handle abuse of older people.
DESIGN
A cross-sectional design was used.
METHODS
The study was conducted from May to June 2019. A convenience sampling was adopted to survey 555 nurses from a medical center in Taiwan. Data were collected using the Knowledge of Abuse of Older People Scale, Attitudes Towards Older People Scale, Attitudes Towards Handling Abuse of Older People Scale, Willingness to Handle Abuse of Older People Scale, and personal characteristics. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression were performed.
RESULTS
Participants scored an average of 2.98 out of 4 on the Willingness to Handle Abuse of Older People Scale, indicating that they were inclined to do so. Attitudes towards older people, knowledge, attitudes towards handling abuse of older people, awareness of the hospital's reporting procedure and dissemination of information related to abuse of older people, sex, age, and clinical work experience explained 41.4% of the variance of willingness. Participants' attitudes toward handling abuse of older people was the most important predictor of their willingness to do so.
CONCLUSIONS
To improve nurses' willingness to handle cases of abuse of older people, particularly that of male nurses, hospital authorities should provide in-service training and education and disseminate information on the subject matter. Nursing schools should prioritize offering gerontological nursing courses to foster nursing students' positive attitudes toward older adults and handling abuse of older people.
TWEETABLE ABSTRACT
Nurses' attitudes toward handling abuse of older people were the most important predictor of their willingness to handle abuse of older people.
目的
本研究旨在探讨护士处理老年人虐待意愿的预测因素。
背景
老年人虐待是一个在全球范围内长期讨论的医疗保健问题。尽管护士被认为有能力识别和报告老年人虐待案件，但在台湾，尚未对护士处理老年人虐待的意愿进行研究。
设计
采用横断面设计。
方法
本研究于 2019 年 5 月至 6 月进行。采用便利抽样法，对台湾一家医疗中心的 555 名护士进行调查。使用老年人虐待知识量表、老年人态度量表、处理老年人虐待态度量表、处理老年人虐待意愿量表以及个人特征进行数据收集。采用 Pearson 相关系数分析、独立样本 t 检验、单因素方差分析和多元线性回归进行分析。
结果
参与者在处理老年人虐待意愿量表上的平均得分为 2.98（满分 4 分），表明他们倾向于这样做。对老年人的态度、知识、处理老年人虐待的态度、对医院报告程序的认识以及与老年人虐待相关信息的传播、性别、年龄和临床工作经验解释了意愿的 41.4%的变异。参与者处理老年人虐待的态度是其处理老年人虐待意愿的最重要预测因素。
结论
为了提高护士处理老年人虐待案件的意愿，特别是男护士的意愿，医院管理部门应提供在职培训和教育，并传播有关该主题的信息。护理学校应优先开设老年护理课程，培养护理学生对老年人的积极态度和处理老年人虐待的能力。
推特摘要
护士处理老年人虐待的态度是其处理老年人虐待意愿的最重要预测因素。
