| Abstract |
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify factors explaining caregivers' attitudes toward elders in long
term care facilities.
Methods
The participants were 154 full time caregivers in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province working
in one of 2 long term care facilities. Data were collected during February and March, 2012, using questionnaires
which included Facts On Aging Quiz Part I (FAQ I), Semantic Differential Scale, Templer Death Anxiety, experience
with older adults and general characteristics (age, educational level, marital status and religion). Data analysis
was done using means, frequencies, t-test ANOVA, correlation and regression.
Results
Age and educational
level showed statistically significant association with attitude toward elderly people. Caregivers who were middle
school graduates and older showed a higher likelihood of positive attitudes. The burden of caregiving could be
decreased with long term care insurance.
Conclusion
The findings from this study indicate that age and educational
level are important variables explaining attitude of caregivers in long term facilities. |
