Introdução: Em Portugal, tem aumentado o nĂșmero de pessoas idosas com necessidades de
cuidados de saĂșde especĂficos. Os cuidados prestados Ă s pessoas idosas estĂĄ diretamente relacionada
com as atitudes dos profissionais de saĂșde, nomeadamente os enfermeiros e estudantes
de enfermagem. O nosso objetivo Ă© explorar as atitudes dos estudantes de enfermagem
em relação à velhice. Metodologia: Estudo de natureza quantitativo, exploratório e descritivo.
Cento e quarenta estudantes de enfermagem do primeiro ano, constituĂram a amostra. O
instrumento de colheita de dados utilizado foi o Inventårio de Atitudes em Relação à Velhice,
originalmente desenvolvido por Sheppard (1981) e adaptado para o portuguĂȘs por Neri (1986).
Na anĂĄlise dos dados recorremos a medidas de tendĂȘncia central. RESULTADOS: O estudo envolveu
14 estudantes do sexo masculino e 126 estudantes do sexo feminino, com uma idade
mĂ©dia de 18,7 anos. A mĂ©dia das pontuaçÔes atribuĂdas pelos estudantes nos itens de InventĂĄrio
de Sheppard foi de 2,05 (DP=0,32). Em geral, este valor indica que as respostas foram
negativas. A pontuação para cada fator do Inventårio de Atitudes em Relação à Velhice estavam
abaixo do ponto médio nas dimensÔes "Expectativas quanto à atividade" e "Expectativas
em relação a satisfação" (X=1,70, DP=0,39 e X=1,66, SD=0, 56, respetivamente) e valor acima
do ponto mĂ©dio da escala dimensĂŁo "A ansiedade sobre a morte" (X=2,82, DP=0,71). DISCUSSĂO:
Estes resultados, espelhando atitudes negativas dos estudantes em relação à velhice, estão em
consonĂąncia com os de Celik et al. (2010). CONCLUSĂO: Os estudantes de enfermagem do 1.Âș ano
demonstram atitudes negativas, em relação à velhice X=2.05 (SD=0.32). Compete aos professores
, do ensino superior, da ĂĄrea da saĂșde, desmistificar os estereĂłtipos que acompanham o
envelhecimento.
Introduction: In Portugal, has increased the number of elderly people, with specific health care needs. Care of the elderly is directly related to the attitudes of health professionals, including nurses and nursing students. Objective: To explore the attitudes toward aging among nursing students. Method: A quantitative exploratory descriptive research study was undertaken. One hundred and forty nursing students of the first year, comprised the sample. The data collection instrument used was the Inventory of Attitudes Toward Aging, originally developed by Sheppard (1981) and adapted to Portuguese by Neri (1986). During data analysis we used central tendency measures. Results: The study involved 14 male students and 126 female students with a mean age of 18,7 years. The average of the scores given by the students in the Inventory items Sheppard was 2,05 (SD = 0,32). In general, this value indicates that the responses was negative. The scores for each factor Sheppard Inventory of Attitudes toward Aging were below the midpoint of the range in dimensions "Expectations regarding activity" and "Expectations regarding satisfaction" (X=1,70, SD=0,39 and X=1,66, SD=0,56, respectively) and value above the midpoint on the scale dimension "Anxiety about death" (X=2,82, SD=0,71). Discussion: These results, reflecting negative attitudes of students toward aging, are consistent with Celik et al. (2010). Conclusion: Nursing students of 1st year show negative attitudes toward aging X=2,05 (SD=0,32). Higher education teachers, related to health have responsibilities in demystify aging stereotypes.
