Abstract:
Objective:To explore the willingness to engage in geriatric nursing services of students in geriatric related majors in universities of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China (Xinjiang for short) , and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for cultivating the geriatric nursing service personnel in Xinjiang.Methods:From September 2019 to July 2020, 976 students in geriatric related majors (the nursing major and geriatric service and management major) from 2 universities, a medical university and a vocational university in Xinjiang, were selected as the research object. Students were investigated with the Students' Willingness to Engage in Geriatric Nursing Services Questionnaire, and 50 students were interviewed with the structured interview.Results:Among 976 university students in geriatric related majors, 606 (62.09%) were willing to engage in geriatric nursing services. Logistic regression analysis showed that attitudes towards the aged, registered residence, experience of caring for the aged, living with the aged, attention to geriatric nursing information, and views on the prospects of geriatric nursing services were the influencing factors of students' willingness to engage in geriatric nursing services with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . The results of grey relation analysis showed that the driving strength of the influencing factors of the willingness to engage in geriatric nursing services of students in geriatric related majors from strong to weak was views on the prospects of geriatric nursing services (the relation index was 0.944) and attitudes toward the aged (the relation index was 0.828) , experience of caring for the aged (the relation index was 0.763) , attention to geriatric nursing information (the relation index was 0.658) , living with the aged (the relation index was 0.600) and the registered residence (the relation index was 0.563) . Conclusions:The most critical influencing factor for students in geriatric related majors in Xinjiang universities to engage in geriatric nursing services is their views on the prospects of geriatric nursing services and their attitudes towards the aged. Universities should further strengthen the discipline construction and curriculum reforms of geriatric related majors, pay attention to the education of career prospects, cultivate a positive attitude towards the aged, and increase the willingness of students to engage in geriatric nursing services.
