Ageism in Nursing Care and its Attributed Factors in Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Study in Iran 2023.
Ageism, a systematic process of discriminatory behavior toward older adults, can have negative consequences for patients. The aim of this study was to investigate ageism in providing nursing care and its attributed factors in hospitals of Kashan/Iran in 2023. A sample of 300 nurses were randomly recruited to this cross-sectional study, and completed the questionnaire of ageism in nursing care and its attributed factors. Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman's correlation and multivariate linear regression analysis statistical tests were used for data analysis. Participants had a mean age of 35.2 ± 8.47 years, with 218 (72.7%) being female. The mean ageism score was 41 ± 8.9 (range: 26-70), indicating relatively low age-based discrimination. However, 90 nurses (30%) expressed reluctance to care for older adult patients. Ageism scores showed significant relationships with gender, type of ward, interest in geriatric nursing, accompanying elderly relatives in the hospital, the relationship with grandparents, age, and work experience. Multivariate regression revealed that attributed factors could explain 12.3% of the variance in ageism scores, with only gender and type of ward having a significant relationship. Although the ageism score was low, a considerable percentage of nurses expressed discriminatory views toward older adult patients. Preventing ageism in nursing care remains a challenge for healthcare services.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology is an international and interdisciplinary journal providing a forum for scholarly discussion of the aging process and issues of the aged throughout the world. The journal emphasizes discussions of research findings, theoretical issues, and applied approaches and provides a comparative orientation to the study of aging in cultural contexts The core of the journal comprises a broad range of articles dealing with global aging, written from the perspectives of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, psychology, population studies, health/biology, etc. We welcome articles that examine aging within a particular cultural context, compare aging and older adults across societies, and/or compare sub-cultural groupings or ethnic minorities within or across larger societies. Comparative analyses of topics relating to older adults, such as aging within socialist vs. capitalist systems or within societies with different social service delivery systems, also are appropriate for this journal. With societies becoming ever more multicultural and experiencing a `graying'' of their population on a hitherto unprecedented scale, the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology stands at the forefront of one of the most pressing issues of our times.
