Abstract

Aim: Although aging reveals individuals with a higher demand for health services, geriatric nursing is not preferred. The study was carried out to measure the ageism of nursing students in Turkey and determine whether or not there were differences in ageism attitudes of students based on gender, grade, and living with aged individuals. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. PubMed, Scopus, Google Academic, and National Thesis Center databases were screened. Results: Total 23 studies were included. The attitudes of nursing students toward aged people were slightly positive. The attitudes of last year students were statistically more positive. The attitudes of students living with aged individuals against ageism were found more positive. No effect of gender on ageism was found. Conclusion: It is seen that knowledge of aging and interacting with aged people increase positive attitudes. It is recommended to include geriatrics in the nursing curriculum and to increase activities in that nursing students can interact with aged individuals.

评估土耳其护理专业学生对年龄歧视的态度：系统回顾和元分析研究

目的：尽管老龄化显示出个人对医疗服务有更高的需求，但老年护理并不受青睐。本研究旨在测量土耳其护理专业学生的年龄歧视情况，并确定学生的年龄歧视态度是否因性别、年级和与老年人生活在一起而存在差异。研究方法进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。筛选了 PubMed、Scopus、Google Academic 和国家论文中心数据库。结果：共纳入 23 项研究：共纳入 23 项研究。护理专业学生对老年人的态度略微积极。据统计，上一届学生的态度更为积极。与老年人共同生活的学生对老龄歧视的态度更为积极。性别对老龄歧视没有影响。结论可以看出，对老龄化的了解和与老年人的互动会增加积极的态度。建议将老年医学纳入护理课程，并增加护理专业学生与老年人互动的活动。
