Attitudes towards and willingness to work with older adults among nurses in a university hospital, Sri Lanka: a cross-sectional study

Most nurses express slightly negative to positive attitudes and have little interest in working with older adults. Various socio-demographic factors have an impact on attitudes towards and willingness to work with older adults. Since nurses play a significant role in providing care for older adults, the development of positive attitudes is essential, and interventions and strategies are crucial to increasing their willingness to work with older adults.

Abstract

Most nurses express slightly negative to positive attitudes and have little interest in working with older adults. Various socio-demographic factors have an impact on attitudes towards and willingness to work with older adults. Since nurses play a significant role in providing care for older adults, the development of positive attitudes is essential, and interventions and strategies are crucial to increasing their willingness to work with older adults.
