Abstract

Teoretična izhodišča: Glede na demografske trende se pričakuje povečevanje potreb po zdravstveni negi in oskrbi starih ljudi. Kakovostno zdravstveno nego in oskrbo starih ljudi je mogoče zagotoviti le s kadrom, ki ima z dodiplomskim in podiplomskim izobraževanjem pridobljeno znanje na področju dela s starimi ljudmi in z zmanjšanjem negativnega odnosa do starih v družbi. Metoda: Deskriptivno-kvantitativno raziskavo smo izvedli v juniju 2010 na namenskem vzorcu študentov zdravstvene nege (n = 61) in kliničnih mentorjev (n = 40). V anketi zaprtega tipa smo uporabili preverjene in splošno uporabljene merske instrumente: Palmorov kviz o dejstvih o staranju % FAQ1, Koganov instrument za merjenje odnosa do starih ljudi % KAOP, Nolan%s Perceptions of Working with Older People (PWOP). Podatke smo statistično obdelali s statističnim paketom SPSS 20.0. Rezultati: Raziskava opozori na prisotnost negativnega odnosa do starih ljudi med anketiranci in nizko stopnjo znanja o starih ljudeh, saj so samo študenti v povprečju dosegli 44,6 % pravilnih odgovorov, klinični mentorji pa 48,7 %. Kar 82,1 % kliničnih mentorjev in 55,9 % študentov je izrazilo željo po delu na področju zdravstvene nege starostnika.Več zanimanja za delo s starimi ljudmi so izrazili anketiranci z bolj pozitivnim stališčem do starih ljudi (r = 0,206, p = 0,047) in anketiranci, ki so vključeni v magistrski študij (r = -0,299, p = 0,023). Večina študentov (94,5 %) v življenju ni imela negativnih izkušenj s starostniki; čim bolj pozitivne so bile njihove izkušnje, tem večja je bila želja po delu s starostniki (r = -0,297, p = 0,029). Klinični mentorji se v primerjavi s študenti bolj zavedajo, da zdravstvena nega starostnika zahteva dodatno specializirano znanje in usposabljanje (%%(2)= 14,896, p = 0,001). Razpravljanje: Raziskava pokaže, da je znanje anketirancev na področju dela s starimi ljudmi pomankljivo. Raziskava tako pokaže pojav negativnega odnosa do starih v družbi pri študentih in kliničnih mentorjih in nizko pripravljenost študentov, da bi izbrali delo s starostniki. Področje zdravstvene nege mora razviti specialne izobraževalne vsebine s področja gerontologije v obliki obveznih in izbirnih predmetov na vseh bolonjskih stopnjah študija, prav tako je potrebna klinična specializacija iz zdravstvene nege starostnika po končani visoki strokovni izobrazbi. Pomembne so tudi pozitivne klinične izkušnje študentov pri delu s starostniki, ki vplivajo na kasnejše odločanje za delo z njimi.

Secondary title:	Nursing students' and clinical mentors' knowledge and views on working with old people
Secondary abstract:	Theoretical background: In the light of the demographic trends, the need for health care of older people is expected to increase. Quality health care for older people can only be achieved by personnel with undergraduate and postgraduate knowledge in working with the elderly and by reducing ageism in the society. Method: Descriptive quantitative study was conducted by the research team of the College of Nursing Jesenice in June 2010, in a convenience sample of nursing students (n = 61) and clinical mentors (n = 40). We used validated and widely used instruments: Palmore%s Facts on Aging Quiz (FAQ1), Kogan%s Attitudes Toward Old People Scale (KAOP), Nolan%s Perceptions of Working with Older People (PWOP). Data were processed with the statistical package SPSS 20.0. Results: We found a low level of general knowledge on old people in our studied sample. Students achieved on average 44.6 % correct responses and clinical mentors 48.7 %. The results have shown the presence of ageism (incorrect responses reflect ageism). 82.1 % of clinical mentors and 55.9 % of students expressed interest to work in nursing of older people. More interest to work with older people was expressed by respondents who had more positive attitude (r = 0.206, p = 0.047) and Master%s students (r = -0,299, p = 0.023). The majority of students (94.5 %) had no negative life experience with old people. The more positive experiences they had, the greater was their desire to work with older people (r = -0.297, p = 0.029). We found that clinical mentors were more aware of the importance of specialised training within gerontological nursing .than students. Discussion: Research has shown the lack of knowledge on nursing of older people among respondents and also the presence of ageism. In nursing, specific knowledge and skills in gerontology have to be developed by introducing obligatory and elective courses at all levels of the Bologna study programs. Clinical specialization in gerontology should be introduced after completed higher vocational education. Namely, the study showed the need for the knowledge and skills in gerontological nursing and the presence of ageism. Positive clinical experience of nursing students in working with older people will influence their later decision to work with them.
