The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing care willingness towards older adults in nurses. This study was a descriptive correlation study. The participants were 160 nurses in South Korea. Data were collected in October 2020 and analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Care willingness towards the elderly positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.48, p<.001), empathy ability (r=.18, p=.025), communication ability (r=.27, p=.001), and meaning of work (r=.42, p<.001). The hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that the model with two independent variables of self-efficacy (β=.41, p<.001) and meaning of work (β=.31, p=.001) explained the 42% in care willingness towards the elderly (F=12.37, p<.001). Findings indicate that self-efficacy and meaning of work could be considered as a useful nursing education intervention to improve care willingness towards older adults in nurses. In addition, in order to improve care willingness towards older adults among nurses, it is necessary to investigate and explore the factors hindering care willingness towards older adults among unmarried staff nurses who are under 40 years of age and have less than 10 years of clinical experience. Therefore, multidimensional efforts are needed to develop educational programs to increase willingness towards older adults among nurses.
