Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of nurses’ empathy and self-efficacy on nursing care of older adults in an integrated nursing care services (INCS) unit.
Methods: The participants were 210 nurses caring for elderly patients in the INCS unit in Korea. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from February 9 to February 23, 2017. The questionnaires are composed of empathy construct rating scale, self-efficacy scale and nursing care of older adults scale.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 29.9 years old. There were significant positive relationships between age and clinical career (r=.78; p<.001), self-efficacy and empathy (r=.33; p<.001) and empathy and nursing care of older adults (r=.25; p<.001). The quality of nursing care of older adults were significantly different according to working experience in psychiatric unit (p=.021). Influencing factor of nursing care of older adults was empathy (ß=.29; p<.001), which explained 30% of the variance.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that attention should be given to empathy of nursing care of older adults and numerous efforts should be made to improve nurses’ empathy for quality elderly care.
