Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current situation of the construction of provincial level and above gerontological nurse specialists (GNSs) training bases in China, including the establishment of bases, training program settings, admission criteria for GNSs, and requirements for training teachers, so as to provide reference for optimizing the training of GNSs.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional survey. From August to October 2021, a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the geriatric nursing committees of nursing associations at provincial level and above. A total of 32 electronic questionnaires were distributed to nursing associations in 31 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the Central Government and the Geriatric Nursing Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association, and 32 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 100.0% (32/32) .Results:In China, 25 nursing associations at or above the provincial level set up training bases for GNSs, and about 3 400 GNSs were trained. 80.0% (20/25) of training bases required a minimum education level of tertiary education and a minimum professional title of junior nurse for GNS trainees. 64.0% (16/25) of training bases required a minimum of 5 working years for GNS trainees. More than half of the training bases required training teachers with a bachelor's degree or above, and a professional title of supervisor nurse or above.Conclusions:The training base for GNSs in China is in a stage of exploration and rapid development. The training system, student admission criteria, and teacher requirements for GNSs among various training bases have not yet formed a unified standard, and further standardization are needed.
