“…Several studies have established the associations between perceived stigma and aging attitudes and quality of life (17). Traditionally, understanding attitudes toward aging in various cultural contexts is crucial to foster the optimal quality of life for older adults (27). Existing studies have measured older adults' attitudes toward aging as stable and integrative judgments, summarizing their thoughts, feelings, and memories regarding aging or other situations; further, the subjective perception of aging, rather than the individual's chronological age and life, are emphasized (27).…”

“…Traditionally, understanding attitudes toward aging in various cultural contexts is crucial to foster the optimal quality of life for older adults (27). Existing studies have measured older adults' attitudes toward aging as stable and integrative judgments, summarizing their thoughts, feelings, and memories regarding aging or other situations; further, the subjective perception of aging, rather than the individual's chronological age and life, are emphasized (27). Generally, a significant association between elderly people's attitude toward own aging and the state of physical and mental health (28), as well as life satisfaction and well-being (29), has been found.…”

BackgroundAgeism is a global challenge, which leads to a range of adverse outcomes for elderly people worldwide, which maybe more severe among urban older adults in a competitive society. However, how self-perceived ageism influences the quality of life in a sample of urban older adults remains inconclusive.ObjectivesThe current study aims to assess the status of self-perceived stigma among urban Chinese older adults, identify its relationship with quality of life, and further explore whether both attitude toward own aging and traditionality moderate this relationship.Materials and MethodsPrimary data were collected through cross-sectional surveys among urban older adults in three provinces of China from October 2019 to December 2020. A total of 764 urban older adults were valid participants (effective response rate = 81.28%) and completed questionnaires via anonymous face-to-face interviews. Socio-demographic factors, self-perceived stigma, attitude toward own aging, traditionality, and quality of life were assessed using questionnaires that included the Self-perceived Stigma, Attitude Toward Own Aging, Traditionality, and SF-8 Scales.ResultsFor urban Chinese older adults, the average score of self-perceived stigma was 2.041 ± 0.726. Self-perceived stigma (β = −0.391, p < 0.05) and attitude toward own aging (β = −0.211, p < 0.05) both influenced quality of life. Additionally, attitude toward own aging (β = −0.530, p < 0.05) and traditionality (β = −0.525, p < 0.05) moderated the association between self-perceived stigma and quality of life. Simple slope analysis revealed that when the level of negative attitude toward own aging and traditionality was higher, the strength of the influence of self-perceived stigma on quality of life was stronger.ConclusionUrban Chinese older adults were aware of the self-perceived stigma, which contributes to decreased quality of life. Attitude toward own aging and traditionality could moderate the association between self-perceived stigma and quality of life. When negative attitudes toward own aging and traditionality are higher, self-perceived stigma has a greater effect on the quality of life. More interventions related to relieving self-perceived stigma, traditionality, and negative attitude toward own aging should be considered to build a new modern society that emphasizes health, friendliness, well-being, and dignity for all ages.

“…Although previous research did not indicate such findings, several possible explanations are available. For example, providing care for older adults, specifically for this population, is strongly encouraged by the Arabic and Islamic culture in Jordan (Ibrahim & Bayen, 2019). In addition, the physical strain that results from such work might bring feelings of accomplishment that helps these nurses feel satisfied with their work.…”

Background The population worldwide is ageing. This has required the nursing profession to respond to the growing demands of providing nursing care to this population. Purpose To identify predictors of job satisfaction among registered nurses providing care for older adults. Methods A cross‐sectional correlational design was used with a convenience sample of nurses. The Quality Work Competence Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale and Nurses' Occupational Stress Scale were used to measure study variables. Descriptive statistics and multiple regressions were used to analyse the data. Results The study included 500 nurses; and 68% dissatisfied with their job. Nurses were mostly dissatisfied with the physical conditions in which they work (55.2%) and the rate of payment (50.2%). Physical strain demonstrated the highest positive correlation with nurses' satisfaction (r = .36). More years of experience, skills and employee development, high nurses' competence, and more physical strain predicted high job satisfaction. Conclusion Job dissatisfaction among nurses providing care for older adults is high and is influenced by nurses' experience, professional development, competency and physical strain. Implications Health care organisations should apply strategies that enhance the development of the professional competency of their nursing staff.

“…Hekimlerle yapılan bir çalışmada aynı meslek grubundan olmalarına karşın birinci basamakta çalışan hekimlerin üniversite ve devlet hastanesinde çalışanlara göre yaşlı ayrımcılığı tutum ölçek puanları arasında farklılık bulunmuştur. Ayrıca yapılan benzer nitelikteki çalışmalarda katılımcıların eğitim durumu ve meslek gibi çeşitli demografik özelliklerinin yaşlı ayrımcılığı tutumunu etkilediği bildirilmektedir (24,26,27). Bu açıdan bakıldığında çalışma literatürdeki bulguları desteklemektedir.…”

Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin %60.0'ı kadın, %65.6'sı evli, %30.9'u üniversite mezunudur. Bireylerin eğitim durumu ve meslekleri ile ölçekten aldıkları puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Eğitim düzeyi ve yaşlının yaşamını sınırlama ölçek alt puan ortalaması arasında; mesleği ile yaşlının yaşamını sınırlama, yaşlıya yönelik olumlu ayrımcılık ve yaşlıya yönelik olumlu ayrımcılık ölçek alt puanları arasındaki fark anlamlı bulunmuştur(p<0.05). Aile tipine göre yaşlıya yönelik olumsuz ayrımcılık ölçek alt puanı arasında; bireylerin yaşlıyla birlikte yaşama durumu ve yaşlı ile aynı evde yaşamayı isteme durumu ile yaşlıya yönelik olumsuz ayrımcılık ölçek alt puanı arasında anlamlılık bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç: Eğitim durumu yükseldikçe, çalışan bireylerin sayısı arttıkça yaşlıya yönelik olumsuz tutumun arttığı, geniş aile tipine sahip ailelerin olumlu ayrımcılık alt ölçek boyutunda olumlu tutuma sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Farklı disiplinlerle iş birliği ile yapılacak konu ile ilgili daha geniş evrene sahip araştırmaların desteklenmesi ve yaşlı ayrımcılığına karşı her sektörde bilinçlendirici faaliyetlerin yapılması önerilmektedir.
