Abstract

According to the United Nations most recent figures (2020), the percentage of the people over the age of 65 accounts for 9.31% of the total global population in 2020. This phenomena is expected to have a direct impact on health care services, raising demand and influencing health care workers' attitudes and services for elderly individuals.  The purpose of this study is to analyze nurses' attitudes toward senior care and to identify the associated factors that influence their opinions. The study is of the transverse (cross-sectional) type. Between January and March 2022, 299 nurses were surveyed at four public institutions: the University Clinical Centre, the General Hospital "Dr. Sami Haxhibeqiri" in Mitrovica, the Main Centre of Family Medicine "Dr. Hafir Shala" in Drenas, and the Family Medicine Centre in Komoran. The sample was chosen at random. The majority of the nurses in the survey (86.3%) agree with the statement that they have favorable attitudes toward aged care and that health services are provided qualitatively in the health institutions where the research was performed (76% of respondents). The amount of education of nurses had the greatest impact on the emergence of compliance with positive attitudes, with results showing that nurses with a higher level of education tend to have compliance with more favorable attitudes toward care for elderly individuals. The majority of the nurses who took part in the study believe that they have generally positive views toward aged care and that the provision of nursing care services in their healthcare institutions is of high quality.

护士对护理老年人的态度
根据联合国的最新数据(2020 年),2020 年 65 岁以上人口占全球总人口的 9.31%。这一现象预计将对医疗保健服务产生直接影响,提高需求并影响医护人员对老年人的态度和服务。 本研究旨在分析护士对老年护理的态度,并找出影响其观点的相关因素。本研究为横向(交叉)研究。2022 年 1 月至 3 月期间,299 名护士在四家公共机构接受了调查:大学临床中心、米特罗维察的 "萨米-哈希贝基里博士 "综合医院、德雷纳斯的 "哈菲尔-沙拉博士 "家庭医学主中心和科莫兰的家庭医学中心。样本是随机抽取的。参与调查的大多数护士(86.3%)都同意这样的说法,即她们对老年护理持良好的态度,并且在进行研究的医疗机构中提供的医疗服务是高质量的(76%的受访者)。护士的受教育程度对是否遵从积极态度的影响最大,结果显示,受教育程度较高的护士往往遵从对老年人护理更有利的态度。参与研究的大多数护士认为,他们对老年护理的看法总体上是积极的,他们所在的医疗机构提供的护理服务质量很高。
