“…Nurses will have to respond to challenges in the external environment that are driven by economic, social and technological resources, and affect the nursing service work force. 7,[11][12][13] As difficult as the process of change is, experiencing change also enables professional nurses to formulate a vision of things to come, bring new expectations into focus and adapt clinical practice to future needs while promoting an organizational environment which encourages core values. 14…”

“…The aging of the population affects health-care problems and services required in these health-care settings. [5][6][7][8] One of the greatest challenges for nurse managers at the end of the century, is providing nursing leadership in caring for patients in LTC hospitals, which experience more acute registered nurse (RN) shortages than any other segment of the health-care industry.

The research focused on the staff nurse's (SN) role and aimed at identifying how SNs and superiors perceive the SN's role dimensions in long‐term care (LTC) at the turn of the century. The research sample included 32 registered SNs and 46 superiors from four LTC hospitals in Israel. Data were collected using two questionnaires developed by the researchers for an earlier study. Findings indicated a process of change in the traditional perception of the SN's role but reflected the performing of only partial integrative patterns of the role, as against what was expected and needed in the new marketplace. No significant differences in the perception of the SN's desired role and required role competencies were found between the two groups. However, significant differences were found between the groups in the perception of the actual role, mainly in performing activities of managerial and social content.

BackgroundImproving the quality of health care and rehabilitation for the elderly is one of the most important priorities of the health care system. Given the importance of evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of any program after its implementation, this study was conducted to identify the advantages and weaknesses of a geriatric nursing program at Tehran University of Medical Sciences.MethodsThis was a qualitative study, and the study population comprised students, graduates, and professors of geriatric nursing at the Master of Science level. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and focus groups. Sixteen interviews were conducted. The interview guide was used as a research tool. Interviews continued until data saturation was reached. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the data.ResultsThree main themes including “motivation to enter geriatric nursing”, “lack of employment groundwork”, and “lack of practical implementation of the curriculum” were the main findings of the study.ConclusionEfforts to restructure the administrative system and employment can deter geriatric nursing students from simply earning a degree and actually encourage them to learn the required content. Appraisal and improvement of education facilities for student recruitment can guarantee the practical implementation of the curriculum. Drafting policies to attract graduates in clinical environments, opening up employment opportunities, providing organizational positions for the recruitment of this group, as well as dedicating some wards for elderly special care and providing nursing care to elderly people only can increase students’ motivation to learn and their hopes of good job prospects.
