This study explored the current knowledge, experience, and willingness of pre-registered nurses in Taiwan to serve in geriatric long-term care. Results showed that willingness to serve in GLTC was positively correlated with experience of living with older adults, practicum experience, taking GLTC-related courses, and interest in GLTC. The importance of GLTC-related courses in enhancing nursing students' willingness to serve older/disabled patients was highlighted.
Aim: Rapidly ageing population leads to increased demands for long-term care. Taiwan's preparation for its ageing population focuses on engaging healthcare professionals. This study explored pre-registered nurses' current knowledge, experience in geriatric long-term care (GLTC) and willingness to serve in GLTC. Design: A cross-sectional survey design and a self-developed structured questionnaire were used. Methods: A probability proportionate to size sampling strategy was used to collect data from students in junior college and bachelor of nursing science programmes in Taiwan in 2017. Multiple regression was adopted to predict significant factors that influence nursing students' willingness to serve in GLTC. Results: The willingness to serve in GLTC was positively correlated with their experience of living with older adults, practicum experience, taking GLTC-related courses and interest in GLTC. Willingness to serve older/disabled patients can be enhanced through school courses and practicum experiences, indicating the importance of GLTC-related courses in the training of the professional nursing workforce.
