Interactions of nurses with elderly patients: relationship to nurses’ attitudes and to formal activity periods

Abstract: Two different strategies are possible for improving nurses' interactions with elderly patients. One is to arrange special periods, such as reality orientation, in which a high level of appropriate interaction is encouraged. The other is to improve nurses' attitudes to patients and treatment, or select nurses with better attitudes, on the grounds that poor attitudes might underly poor behaviour. This study was designed to find out whether nurses' interactions with elderly patients varied in relation to their at… Show more

“…In terms of positive attitudes, it has been noted that higher levels of education and longer work experience in health care were accompanied by a greater acknowledgement of the patients’ attitudes and wishes (Mattiason & Anderson 1994). Salmon (1993) reported that registered nurses had more positive attitudes toward patients with dementia, higher levels of empathy, and lower burnout than did licensed practical nurses and nursing aids.…”

“…Armstrong-Esther et al [58], Waters [59], Edberg et al [60] and Nolan et al [61] use molar observations, such as physical activity and non-interactive behaviour. While Davies [62], Salmon [63] and Thomas [64] use specifically defined verbal communication categories, such as explanation and jokes or puns.…”

“…For instance, the studies in elderly care [59,[61][62][63] or in the intensive care [73,74] do not offer specific clues for instrument development in oncology care. Studies directed at the occurrence of verbal and nonverbal behaviour, rather than the content of communication [71,72], neither offer guidelines for instrument development in cancer nursing (right-most column in Table 3).…”

“…14 Studying the nursing staff's interactions with older patients who were admitted in two psychogeriatric wards in a British general hospital, Salmon found that RNs hold more favourably attitudes towards older patients than nursing assistants. 21 Wright also indicated that educational preparation of the nursing staff was important in determining the professionals' attitudes towards older people. 15 Gallagher et al documented that the level of education was significantly associated with the neg KOP scores, but not the pos KOP scores, among 189 surveyed health-care personnel including nurses, assistant personnel and porters.…”
