ABSTRACT

This study was a descriptive correlational study to examine the relationships among moral sensitivity, attitude, and nursing practices for older people among nurses in long term care hospitals. Data collection was performed from June 30 to September 15, 2012 using a self-administered questionnaire from 208 nurses. The instruments used for this study were the moral sensitivity questionnaire, the scale for attitudes toward age groups, and the nursing practices tool. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Win 19.0 program. The mean score of the moral sensitivity was 5.10 out of 7 point scale and the mean score of the attitude toward older people was 3.05 out of 5 point scale. On a 4 point scale, the mean score of the nursing practices was 3.78. There was a significant positive correlation between moral sensitivity and nursing practices. These results showed that the moral sensitivity was the important factor of nursing practices among nurses in long term care hospitals. Therefore, it is necessary to develop on-the-job training programs focused on improvement of moral sensitivity and positive attitudes toward older people in order to high quality of nursing care in long term care hospitals.
