Determining of the Perspectives of Public Health Nursing Students on Nursing Homes: An Example from a University
Öz
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determining of the perspectives of public health nursing students on nursing homes.
Methods: The study was a descriptive investigation including 49 senior nursing students at a state institution in western Turkey, performed between May and June 2023. The study's data were gathered using a form developed by the researchers. The research data were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 software suite.
Results: The average age of the individuals who participated in the investigation was 21.51±1.22. The research demonstrated that over half of the students (63.3%) expressed no interest in pursuing a career in the subject of aging/old age upon their graduation. It was also determined that nearly all of the pupils (93.9%) did not labour voluntarily in an institution or organization that provides services to the elderly.
Conclusion: The study highlights the need of implementing comprehensive strategies to enhance students' attitudes about working in nursing homes and with the elderly. The issue of students’ avoidance to collaborate with older adults is a complex topic that encompasses several psychological, social, and pedagogical factors. In order to resolve this issue, it is advised that the nursing curriculum incorporate experiential learning opportunities that involve interacting with the elderly or in nursing facilities.

Halk Sağlığı Hemşireliği Dersini Alan Öğrencilerin Huzurevlerine İlişkin Görüşlerinin Belirlenmesi: Bir Üniversite Örneği
Öz
Amaç: Bu çalışma halk sağlığı hemşireliği dersini alan öğrencilerin huzurevlerine ilişkin görüşlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırma, Türkiye'nin batısında yer alan bir devlet üniversitesinin Hemşirelik Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören 49 son sınıf öğrencisiyle, Mayıs-Haziran 2023 tarihleri arasında tanımlayıcı bir çalışma olarak gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan bir form kullanılarak toplandı. Araştırma verileri SPSS 26,0 paket programı ile analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21,51±1,22'dir. Araştırma, katılan öğrencilerin yarısından çoğunun (%63,3) mezuniyetten sonra yaşlanma/yaşlılık alanında çalışmaya ilgi duymadığını ortaya koydu. Ayrıca öğrencilerin tamamına yakınının (%93,9) yaşlılara hizmet veren bir kurum/kuruluşta gönüllü olarak çalışmadığı belirlendi.
Sonuç: Çalışma, öğrencilerin huzurevlerinde ve yaşlılarla çalışma konusundaki bakış açılarını geliştirmek için kapsamlı stratejiler uygulamanın gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Öğrencilerin yaşlı bireylerle çalışmadan kaçınması sorunu, çeşitli psikolojik, toplumsal ve eğitimsel değişkenleri içeren çok yönlü bir konudur. Bu sorunun çözümü için hemşirelik müfredatına huzurevlerinde/yaşlılarla çalışmayı içeren deneyimsel öğrenme fırsatlarının dahil edilmesi önerilir.
