Book excerpt: In the next ten years, the United States will face the greatest shift in demographics in history. Worldwide, the baby boomer generation is aging quickly, most importantly, who will provide nursing care to this group of people who will also require the greatest proportion of health care resources. Current research reveals very few baccalaureate student nurse graduates express interest in self-selecting gerontology as a career choice. The purpose of this qualitative study (N=8) was to identify why new registered nurses do not choose gerontology as a career choice. The sources of data for the study were comprised of a demographic profile of each student, students' journals and the researcher's notes from the students' responses to twelve scripted questions. The most salient themes identified as to why new registered nurses do not self-select gerontology as a career specialty, were: ageism; unsatisfactory professional mentors and role models; feelings of powerlessness to change the long-term care nursing model of long term care facilities, and inadequate academic and clinical preparation to feel competent care giving to the elderly population.

Book excerpt: The capabilities of modern medicine have precluded the sanctity of what it means to die, extending life while too often prolonging suffering along a trajectory of functional decline that typifies terminal illness, leaving patients with little say in how they want to experience their final days (Connors et al., 1995). End-of-life care has evolved to ensure that people with terminal illnesses know what to expect, understand their options, and have a voice in their care. It is the nurse-patient relationship at the bedside where patients express their wishes and the opportunity to advocate for patient-directed end-of-life care occurs. Unfortunately, these nurses often are not prepared for this role, cognitively or attitudinally. With an aging generation of baby boomers and prevalence of chronic illness, the need for nurses to be comfortable with end-of-life caregiving is urgent. This requires nurses to be educated in the principles of end-of-life care and possess attitudes conducive to putting their knowledge into practice. Often, though, nurses are confronted with their own attitudinal barriers toward death and dying borne of experiences in life that must first be overcome to freely empower their patients' voices and choices for care. Using a correlational design, the intent of this study was to learn how to improve nursing education in end-of-life care by determining the relationship between undergraduate student nurses' personal, didactic, clinical, and introspection life experiences with death and dying and their attitudes toward providing care to the dying. The study found that the personal, clinical, and introspective domains were associated with attitudes toward care of the dying with introspection showing the strongest correlation with attitudes. Forward regression, however, revealed that all four domains were predictive of attitudes toward care of the dying. Didactic experiences indirectly predicted attitudes by enhancing clinical experiences at the bedside, resulting in the clinical domain ranking as the strongest predictor of attitudes while introspection emerged as the strongest unique predictor. The value of introspection in ameliorating attitudes toward death and dying borne of experiences in all realms of life was pervasive. The study further investigated the association between attitudes toward death and dying and attitudes toward providing care to the dying. Fear of Death and Death Avoidance were inversely associated with comfort in giving care to the dying whereas Neutral Acceptance was positively associated. This study revealed the complexity of educating to attitudes conducive to comfortably providing nursing care at the end of life, revealing the need for a multimodal approach. Assuming that attitudes engender behaviors, discomfort or aversion toward death may negatively impact giving care at the end of life. The study outcomes recommend introspective exploration of student nurses' attitudes toward death and the origins of those attitudes as well as offering deliberate didactic and clinical experiences with the dying to prepare nurses with the aptitudes and attitudes to comfortably provide end-of-life care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elderly population is projected to nearly double by the year 2030. With the increased number of elderly needing healthcare and concerns of ageist attitudes towards the elderly, student nurses need to have a better understanding of this patient population and the implications of providing biased care. Research indicates that there are multiple variables that help form attitudes about the elderly, and the positive influence of education. Using Kogan's (1961) Attitudes Towards Old People scale, this project surveyed attitudes of pre-licensure diploma level nursing students, both before and after the completion of a seven-week gerontology specific course, guided by Miller's (1990) Functional Consequences Theory for Promoting Wellness in Older Adults. Using an independent-samples t-test, before gerontology ATOP total scores were compared to after gerontology ATOP total scores to determine if the gerontology specific education improved student nurses' attitudes toward the elderly. The findings of this project demonstrated no significant difference in scores for before and after, suggesting that the intervention of gerontology specific education had no impact as a strategy to improve student attitudes. The lack of improvement may be a result of students already having positive attitudes. Another reason that the results may have failed to demonstrate an improvement in student attitudes after gerontology education, was the sample size which may have been too small to capture a change that may have occurred with a larger sample size.
