Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among knowledge, attitudes toward caring for the elderly and geriatric nursing practice and the influencing factors on geriatric nursing practice in nursing students. Data were collected from 255 nursing students with clinical practice experiences in three nursing schools in B city, with the measurement of Fact on Aging Quiz Part I, Attitudes toward Caring for the Elderly and Geriatric nursing practice. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression. Significant correlations were found among knowledge of, caring attitude towards the elderly and geriatric nursing practice. The significant factors influencing geriatric nursing practice were caring attitude towards the elderly, grade, and knowledge of the elderly, and these factors explained 27.4% of the variance. The findings suggest that effective educational strategies need to be developed and implemented to foster positive caring attitude towards and knowledge of the elderly in order to improve geriatric nursing practice in nursing students.

본 연구는 간호학생의 노인에 대한 지식과 노인돌봄태도 및 노인간호실천과의 관계를 확인하고 간호학생의 노인간호실천에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 파악하기 위하여 시도되었다. 자료수집은 2015년 8월25부터 9월 30일까지 진행되었고 연구대상자는 B 광역시 소재 3개의 간호학과에서 재학 중인 임상실습을 경험한 남녀 간호학생 255명을 대상으로 하였으며, 자료수집을 위해 노인에 대한 지식, 노인돌봄태도, 노인간호실천 측정도구를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 기술통계, 상관관계, 다중회귀분석을 이용하였다. 연구 결과 노인에 대한 지식, 노인돌봄태도 및 노인간호실천은 유의한 상관관계가 있었으며, 노인돌봄태도, 학년, 노인에 대한 지식이 노인간호실천에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 파악되었다. 이들 요인들에 의한 노인간호실천 설명력은 27.4%이었으며, 노인간호실천에 가장 영향을 많이 미치는 요인은 노인돌봄태도였다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 추후 간호학생의 노인간호실천 증진을 위해 긍정적인 노인돌봄태도를 함양하고 노인에 대한 지식을 강화할 수 있는 효과적인 노인간호교육 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요하리라 사료된다.
