Factors predicting holistic nursing competence in a sample of nurses caring for older adults
The findings of this study indicate that HNC in the care of older adults is influenced by ethical competencies, attitudes towards aging, professional training, and work-related environmental factors. Therefore, developing structured in-service training programs, promoting ethical conduct in nursing, and reducing ageist attitudes are considered effective strategies for enhancing HNC. The results of this research can inform policies in nursing education and human resource development.
