The effect of simulation-based learning on nurses' attitudes towards older adults, individualized care perceptions
1Istanbul Medipol University, School of Health Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background:
This study aimed to determine the effect of simulation-based learning on nurses' attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and nursing care quality indicators.
Method:
This study involved conducting a single-group pretest and posttest study on nurses. The nurses were followed up in the first (follow-up 1) and third months (follow-up 2) after the posttest. Fifty nurses participated in simulation-based learning as part of the Older Adults Program. Nurses' knowledge of older adults' care, attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and nursing care quality indicators were assessed.
Results:
Nurses' positive attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and care quality indicators were significantly higher in all follow-ups after simulation-based learning (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference scores related to negative attitudes (p > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Simulation-based learning for the care of older adults positively increased nurses' attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and nursing care quality indicators.
