There are huge demands for aged-care workers, and undergraduate gerontological nursing education plays a critical role in providing academic and professional training.
To examine relationships of characteristics, aged-care education, and gerontological nursing competencies with the intention to work in aged care.
An online survey was distributed to undergraduate nursing students between April and June 2022 to gather characteristics, relevant aged-care education, gerontological nursing competencies, and intentions to work in aged care data. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify determinants of the intention to work in aged care.
Students (n = 358) who were older (p < 0.001) and who were married (p < 0.001) had higher intentions to work in aged care. "Promoting mental health and psychological well-being", "Providing evidence-based dementia care", and "Enabling access to technology", were also associated with positive intentions.
This study provides evidence on determinants of the intention to work in aged care, particularly gerontological nursing competencies.
对老年护理工作者有巨大需求,本科老年护理教育在提供学术和专业培训方面发挥着关键作用。
研究特征、老年护理教育和老年护理能力与从事老年护理工作意向之间的关系。
于2022年4月至6月向本科护理专业学生开展在线调查,以收集其特征、相关老年护理教育、老年护理能力以及从事老年护理工作意向的数据。进行多变量回归分析以确定从事老年护理工作意向的决定因素。
年龄较大(p < 0.001)且已婚(p < 0.001)的学生(n = 358)从事老年护理工作的意向更高。“促进心理健康和幸福感”“提供循证痴呆护理”以及“促进技术使用”也与积极意向相关。
本研究提供了关于从事老年护理工作意向的决定因素的证据,尤其是老年护理能力方面的证据。
