Abstract:
Despite the high prevalence of ageism worldwide, it is still underestimated and unrecognized by many nurses. Concept clarification is required to delineate the meaning of the word "ageism" in nursing. The purpose of this concept analysis is to clearly define the concept of ageism relative to nursing discipline using the Walker and Avant method. Defining the concept of ageism will provide nurses with a better understanding of its causes and consequences. It will aid policy makers in developing policies and interventions to help decrease ageism in health care environments.
