“…However, PCA is not considered the most appropriate strategy for identifying the factor structure underlying a set of variables (Hatcher 1994, Fabrigar et al 1999. In fact in the Swedish (Soderhamn et al 2000), Turkish (Erdemir et al 2010), Chinese (Yen et al 2009), and Greek (Lambrinou et al 2005) studies, PCA resulted in several components at the primary analysis that demanded further factors reduction and extraction techniques. In our study, we used the PFA according to the opinion of the psychometric experts.…”

“…Further validation studies were conducted on college students and on healthcare personnel to assess its applicability in Sweden (Soderhamn et al 2000), Turkey (Erdemir et al 2010), Greece (Lambrinou et al 2005), Japan (Ogiwara et al 2007), and China (Yen et al 2009). However, except for a small pilot study (Matarese et al 2010), no study has been conducted in Italy to evaluate the validity of the KAOP in measuring the attitudes towards older people among Italian nursing students.…”

Aim. This paper reports a study testing the validity and reliability of the Italian version of the Kogan Attitude towards Older People scale. Background. Nursing students’ attitudes towards older people can affect their preference for working with them. One of the most common instruments used to assess these attitudes is the Kogan Attitude towards Older People scale. Previous validation studies performed on college students internationally have demonstrated good reliability and validity. The psychometric properties of the Italian version have not yet been tested. Design. A cross‐sectional, descriptive study. Method. The study was conducted from March–June 2010 with a convenience sample of nursing students attending two Italian universities. Reliability was evaluated using internal consistency and item‐to‐total correlation. Content and construct validity were evaluated using a content validity index and principal factor analysis. Results. A total of 1637 nursing students participated in the study. Two factors were extracted from the factor analysis: prejudice describing a negative disposition and appreciation indicating a favourable feeling and opinion towards older people. Conclusion. The Kogan Attitude towards Older People scale applied to Italian nursing students exhibited good internal consistency. The two‐dimensional construct of the scale was congruent with some, but not all, results of previous studies due to methodological differences among the studies. Based on the study findings, the scale can be recommended for future research studies in Italy including use as pre/post‐test measurement associated with nursing education programmes.

“…Aging is not an illness; however, the growing rates and severity of health problems and decreasing functional abilities are some of the potential life-changing problems of aging [3,7]. These issues may increase older adults' health care needs [10,11]. The attitudes of health care professionals directly influence the quality of health care services provided to older people [4,10,[12][13][14].…”

“…Demographic statistics show that the population aging is a generalized process in Europe. According to Eurostat72, the total population aged 65 years and over in The Netherlands is actually 15.3%, whereas in Poland this is 13.5% and in Turkey 7.1% (Giannakouris 2008;TUIK 2009;Erdemir et al 2011).…”

Many countries in Europe and the world have to cope with an aging population. Although health policy in many countries aims at increasing disability-free life expectancy, elderly patients represent a significant proportion of all patients admitted to different hospital departments. The aim of the research was to investigate the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the care dependency status among elderly hospital patients. In 2012, a descriptive survey was administered to a convenience sample of 325 elderly hospital patients (> 60 years) from The Netherlands (N = 125), from Poland (N = 100), and from Turkey (N = 100). We employed the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Measurement System and the Care Dependency Scale. FACIT is a collection of HRQOL questionnaires that assess multidimensional health status in people with various chronic illnesses. From demographic variables, gender (female) (r = −0.13, p < 0.05), age and informal care given by family members (r = −0.27 to 0.27, p < 0.01) were significantly correlated with the care dependency status for the whole samples. All HRQOL variables, hearing aid and duration of illness correlated with care dependency status (r = −0.20 to 0.50, p < 0.01). Moreover, the FACIT sum score (Poland and Turkey) and functional wellbeing (The Netherlands) are significantly associated with the decrease in care dependency status. Thus, the FACIT variables are the most powerful indicators for care dependency. The study provides healthcare professionals insight into improvement of quality of care in all three countries.
