“…Nurses who had a BSc degree and above were nearly three times more likely to have a favorable attitude towards the care of older people compared to those who had a diploma. The result of this study is complemented by a study conducted in Nepal [35]. This could be because an increased level of education helps to read different kinds of literature regarding the care of the older people, which will bring a favorable attitude.…”

Background Nurses’ knowledge and attitude regarding the care of older people can have an impact on patient outcomes such as reduced length of hospital stays, reduced readmission rates, and increased patient and family satisfaction. However, evidence is scarce in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and associated factors towards the care of older people among nurses working at public hospitals in West Shoa Zone, Ethiopia. Methods Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted from April1–30, 2021 among 423 nurses who were working in adult care units. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The sample was selected using simple random sampling. The logistic regression analysis model was fitted and the Adjusted Odds Ratio at 95% confidence interval was used. P-values less than or equal to 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results A total of 411 nurses participated in the study with a 97.16% response rate. The mean age of the participants was 29.11 (SD ± 3.84) years. The study showed that 37.2% (95% CI: 33, 42%) of the participants had good knowledge and 45.7% (95% CI: 40.9, 50.6%) had a favorable attitude toward the care of older people. The significantly associated factors positively affected both the knowledge and the attitude of nurses. Age greater than 30 years (AOR:2.37, 95% CI: 1.18, 4.75), experience greater than 5 years (3.00: 1.21, 7.41), being BSc degree holder and above (3.57: 1.40, 9.09), lived with older people (2.14: 1.34, 3.42), and nurses working in adult intensive care unit (3.03: 1.03, 8.91) were significantly associated with knowledge. Likewise, being female (2.04: 1.33, 3.12), being BSc degree holder and above (2.77: 1.35, 5.65), lived with older people (1.59: 1.03, 2.44), and care for older people (1.63: 1.06, 2.53) were significantly associated with attitude. Conclusion In this study, less than half of the nurses had good knowledge and a favorable attitude towards the care of older people. Continuous professional development regarding the care of older people is important to enhance nurses’ knowledge and attitude.

Background and AimsCommunication between intensive care unit (ICU) nurses and patients with decreased Level of Consciousness (DLOC) is now regarded as a difficult task. Proper communication is regarded as a crucial component of care and stems from the attitude and practice of nurses. Intensive care nurses are responsible for providing care to patients with DLOC in accordance with ethical principles because care and ethics cannot be separated. To better understand ICU nurses' attitudes and practice toward communicating with patients who have decreased levels of consciousness and how this affects the provision of ethical care, the current study was conducted.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional study. Two hundred ICU nurses from southeast Iran took part in this study. Three questioners, including attitude and practice toward communicating with patients who decreased Levels of consciousness, and ethical Care were used as data collection tools.ResultsThe mean score for ICU nurses' attitude, practice, and ethical care towards communicating with patients with DLOC were, respectively, 4.02 ± 0.45,2.91 ± 0.49. The findings demonstrated a very weak correlation between the ICU nurses' attitude score and communication practice for DLOC patients (p = 0.04; r = 0.14).ConclusionNurses who had a more positive attitude toward communicating with DLOC patients performed better in this area. It is suggested that nurses employed in ICUs should be monitored and judged based on how well they communicate with DLOC patients through workshops and conferences. By doing this, they would become more cognizant of the necessity for and effective methods of communication with these patients as well as the repercussions of their poor communication practice.
