Abstract:Objective This research was conducted to determine nurses' attitudes toward older patient care and the difficulties they experience. Methods Participants completed questionnaires regarding descriptive characteristics, the type of difficulties they experienced in older patient care, and the Chinese version of Kogan's Attitudes Toward Old People Scale. Data were evaluated by using percentage, Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis, t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results The study revealed that nurses experienced difficulties due to the inadequacy of physical conditions and technical equipment in hospitals; administrative problems; communication problems; and insufficient knowledge, skills and experience in older patient care. The nurses' mean score of Kogan's Attitudes Toward Older People Scale was 98.83.Conclusion The difficulties experienced by nurses in this sample resulted from the lack of technically equipped hospitals or clinics for older patients and the inadequacy of nurses' gerontology education. Despite these factors, the nurses' attitude toward older people was positive.
