“…Though there is no study on the degree of elderly nursing practice among the nurses who are providing the nursing care integration service, the degree of elderly nursing practice in this study was lower than that of the studies conducted on the nurses in elderly nursing care centers using the same tool [27,28]. The reason seems to be that the nurses in the elderly care centers, where nursing is performed only for the elderly, are more dedicated to practical tasks for the elderly patients [25,26].…”

The Korean government is activating an integrated nurse care service, in which all inpatient care services are provided by a proper nursing team without a caregiver or a guardian staying at the hospital. This study was to examine the influence of empathy and self-efficacy on the elderly nursing practice of nurses at integrated nurse care service wards in South Korea. A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed. Participants included 238 nurses who were working at integrated nurse care service wards in hospitals in Seoul, South Korea. Measures were a general characteristics form, the Empathy Construct Rating Scale, the Korean Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Korean Elderly Nursing Practice Scale. Data were collected from February to May 2017. The findings show a slightly higher level of empathy; an almost intermediate level of self-efficacy; and a high level of elderly nursing practice in Korean nurses at integrated nurse care service wards. The only factor found to impact significantly on elderly nursing practice was empathy. The findings suggest that nurses need to enhance empathy toward the elderly to improve elderly nursing practice. It is necessary to provide strategies or interventions in the nursing management for improvement of the empathy of nurses at integrated nurse care service wards in South Korea.

“…The current study's findings support Alamri et al (2017), who reported that nurses were reluctant to work with older people at the end of their training because they encountered poor standards of care and a lack of motivation and expressed the feeling that gerontological nursing was stigmatized. Similarly, Kwon et al (2013) pointed out that community-based provision for the care of older people has expanded and offers new routes for the specialist training of nurses in community settings. This change will increase the demand for more skilful and experienced nurses in specialized fields such as community health nursing for older people.…”

This cross-sectional study was conducted among 384 nurses working at a tertiary public hospitals in the Rangpur city of Bangladesh from January 2019 to December, 2019. Participants were selected using simple random sampling from the list of staff. The Kogan's attitude questionnaire was used to measure nurses' attitudes toward the elderly. Out of 384 respondents, 36.5% were of age group 21-30 years, most of female (84.4%) and married (85.2%) with maximum Muslim (88.5%) religious view. About half of the respondents had diploma level education (53.9%) and having 1-5 years job experience (48.7%). 64.1% respondents have monthly income within BDT 25001-35000. 35.4% of the nurses agreed for skill nursing and 36.5% agreed for challenging and stimulating nursing care, and 54.2% nurses agree for need highly skilled nursing.

According to Kogan attitudes scale, 36.2% nurse had negative attitudes and 63.8% had positive attitudes regarding geriatric health care. More than one third (38.5%) of respondents were average knowledge; followed by 32.8% respondents were good knowledge. There is a statistically significant relationship present between job experience and attitude (λ2=26.193, p<0.05) and job experience and knowledge (λ2=15.04, p<0.04) of nurses. It was concluded that senior staff nurses had average knowledge and positive attitude regarding geriatric care. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. September 2020, 6(3): 431-439

“…This study found an elderly care performance score of 3.80 out of 5, greater than the score of 3.07 found by Kim [5] for nurses in general hospitals. This is an expected outcome, since LTC hospitals nurses almost exclusively deal with elderly patients and thus have a high awareness of elderly care as well as a high level of performance in this care setting [28], whereas nurses at general hospitals attend to various types of patients, from younger adults to elderly people, and may therefore have less awareness of elderly care and a lower level of elderly care performance. In examining the differences in elderly care performance by the characteristics of the participants, nurses aged 50 or older and with a title of charge staff nurse or higher demonstrated higher performance of elderly care in this study, while Kim [5] found that married nurses showed higher elderly care performance than did unmarried nurses.…”

“…Existing literature on elderly care performance focused on nurses' demographic characteristics of nurses at geriatric hospitals. For example, a survey of nurses at geriatric hospitals reported that older age, longer clinical ex-perience, and higher education level were associated with a more advanced performance in elderly care [6]. There has been limited research to date at Korean LTC hospitals on the factors of elderly care performance among nurses.…”

The objective of this study was to identify whether spirituality mediates the relationship between empathy and elderly care performance among Long Term Care (LTC) hospitals nurses in Korea. Methods: The data collection was performed July 1st to August 31th, 2018. Participants were 119 nurses from three long-term care hospitals in Korea. Self-reported questionnaires were administered to assess general characteristics, empathy, spirituality and elderly care performance. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and three-stage simple and multiple regression analysis as proposed by Baron and Kenny. Results: The level of elderly care performance of participants was significantly different based on age (F=3.92, p=.010) and nurse's position (t=-2.18, p=.031). Spirituality had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between empathy and elderly care performance (Z=3.64, p<.001). Conclusion: As spirituality completely mediates the relationship between empathy and elderly care performance, it is necessary to develop a nursing education program that applies spirituality and empathy and supports religious activities at an institutional level.
