    Patient engagement in elderly care rehabilitation is often low. A nurse-led activation program showed varied nurse attitudes across wards, highlighting the need for local ownership in rehabilitation initiatives.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Nursing Studies

    Background:

    • Low patient engagement in rehabilitation activities is common in elderly care wards.
    • Patient activity is crucial for functional recovery in geriatric populations.
    • Nurses are central to patient care and activity engagement in these settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess nurses' attitudes towards a patient activation program in an elderly care unit.
    • To identify factors influencing the acceptance and implementation of rehabilitation initiatives by nursing staff.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among nurses in an elderly care unit implementing a patient activation program.
    • Attitudes were analyzed based on nurse grade and ward, comparing experimental and control groups.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in attitudes were found based on nurse grade or between experimental and control wards.
    • Significant differences in attitudes were observed between the four individual wards.
    • Nurses reported general satisfaction alongside some noted disquiet regarding the program.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurse attitudes towards patient activation programs can vary significantly between wards.
    • The findings underscore the importance of fostering a sense of 'ownership' among staff for successful rehabilitation developments.
    • Tailoring and local adaptation of rehabilitation programs may be necessary to address ward-specific dynamics.
