Giriş: Yaşlanma ile birlikte oluşan fizyolojik değişimlere ve gelişen kronik hastalıklara bağlı olarak, cerrahi işlemlere ilişkin bakım gereksinimleri farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Amaç: Bu çalışmada cerrahi hemşirelerinin yaşlı hastalara yönelik tutumlarının ve tutumu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, 21 Şubat - 11 Mart 2020 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'nin Trakya bölgesinde bulunan bir üniversite hastanesinin cerrahi birimlerinde çalışan 153 hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler hemşire tanıtım formu ve Kogan Yaşlılara Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Veriler, Whitney - U testi, Kruskal - Wallis testi ve Spearman korelasyon katsayısı testleri kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Toplam tutum ölçeği puanı ortalaması 126.23 ± 15.52 olup, yüksek lisans derecesine sahip hemşirelerin puanları, lise mezunu olanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p < .05). Yaşlı bakım deneyimi olmayan hemşirelerin olumsuz tutum puanı, deneyimi olanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p < .05). Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması ve mesleki deneyim süresi ile ortalama tutum ölçek puanı arasında pozitif bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlendi (sırasıyla r = .18 p = .019; r = .17 p = .027). Sonuç: Çalışma, cerrahi birimlerde çalışan hemşirelerin yaşlı hastalara yönelik olumlu bir tutuma sahip olduklarını, eğitim durumlarının, yaşlı hastalara bakım sağlama konusunda edindikleri deneyimlerin, yaş ve mesleki deneyimlerinin artmasının yaşlılara karşı olumlu tutumlarını geliştirmede etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Yaşlı hastaların hemşirelik bakımında eğitimli ve deneyimli cerrahi hemşirelerinin bulunması, onlara yönelik olumlu tutum sergilemesi açısından önemlidir.

Background: Due to chronic diseases and physiological changes with aging, the surgical processes care requirements may change. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the attitudes of surgical nurses toward older patients and the factors affecting the attitude. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 153 nurses who worked in surgical units of a university hospital located in Thrace region of Turkey from February 21 to March 11, 2020. Data were collected using a nurse identification form and the Kogan’s Attitude toward Older People scale. Data were analyzed using Whitney-U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results: The mean attitude score was 126.23 ± 15.52, the scores of nurses who had postgraduate degrees were statistically significantly higher than those who had high school degrees (p < .05). Negative attitude scores of nurses who had no experience in providing care for older patients were statistically significantly higher than those who had experience (p < .05). There was a positive relationship between the mean age and professional experience of nurses and the mean attitude score (r = .18 p = .019; r = .17 p = .027, respectively). Conclusion: The study showed that nurses who worked in surgical units had a positive attitude toward older patients, and their educational status, the experiences they gained in providing care for older patients, and the increase in their age and professional experience were effective in developing their positive attitudes toward older patients. The presence of educated and experienced surgical nurses in nursing care of older patients is important in terms of displaying positive attitudes towards them.
