The nursing home is a multifaceted environment where residents, many of whom have multiple chronic conditions, typically spend their final years receiving care. Being a nurse in a nursing home is a challenging and multifaceted role that demands a range of skills. The study aimed to explore the experiences of nursing home nurses, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to be a nurse in a nursing home, both professionally and personally.
Seventeen nurses working in nursing homes in Ankara, Turkey were recruited between June and Agust 2024 for a descriptive phenomenological study. Data were collected through in-depth face-to-face interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The study was reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research Checklist.
Six themes emerged from descriptive analysis "Transformation", "Wish to Die Before Experiencing Aging", "Needs and Shortcomings in Older Adults Care", "Communication Challenges", "Struggles with Professional Fulfillment", "Perspectives on Aging in Residential Care".
This study demonstrates that working with older adults in nursing homes can be highly stressful for nurses, potentially leading to negative effects on their professional and personal experiences.
养老院是一个多方面的环境，许多居民患有多种慢性病，他们通常在这里度过生命的最后几年并接受护理。在养老院担任护士是一项具有挑战性且多方面的工作，需要一系列技能。本研究旨在探索养老院护士的经历，以期更深入地了解在养老院担任护士在职业和个人层面意味着什么。
2024年6月至8月间，招募了17名在土耳其安卡拉养老院工作的护士参与一项描述性现象学研究。通过深入的面对面访谈收集数据，并采用主题分析法进行分析。本研究依据《定性研究报告统一标准清单》进行报告。
描述性分析得出了六个主题：“转变”“希望在经历衰老之前死去”“老年人护理中的需求与不足”“沟通挑战”“职业成就感的挣扎”“机构养老中对衰老的看法”。
本研究表明，在养老院照顾老年人对护士来说压力可能极大，可能会对他们的职业和个人经历产生负面影响。
