Özet
Background: This study aimed to determine the effect of simulation-based learning on nurses' attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and nursing care quality indicators. Method: This study involved conducting a single-group pretest and posttest study on nurses. The nurses were followed up in the first (follow-up 1) and third months (follow-up 2) after the posttest. Fifty nurses participated in simulation-based learning as part of the Older Adults Program. Nurses' knowledge of older adults’ care, attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and nursing care quality indicators were assessed. Results: Nurses' positive attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and care quality indicators were significantly higher in all follow-ups after simulation-based learning (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference scores related to negative attitudes (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Simulation-based learning for the care of older adults positively increased nurses' attitudes toward older adults, individualized care perceptions, and nursing care quality indicators.
