          Abstract

          RESUMEN Ante una población española cada vez más envejecida y un desarrollo de las especialidades de Enfermería lento y desigual entre las diferentes comunidades autónomas del país, los autores de la investigación se preguntan: ¿influye la existencia de las unidades docentes de la especialidad de Enfermería Geriátrica en el conocimiento y expectativas acerca de esta especialidad que los estudiantes de grado puedan tener en la actualidad? Se establece como objetivo evidenciar si existe relación entre la presencia de unidad docente de especialistas internos residentes (EIR) en la especialidad de Enfermería Geriátrica en una ciudad y cómo de informados están sus estudiantes universitarios de grado acerca de esta especialidad. Se diseña una metodología que cuantifique y describa las respuestas de dos poblaciones universitarias, con la peculiaridad de que una de ellas dispone de unidad docente para la formación de especialistas en Enfermería Geriátrica en la misma ciudad y la otra no (estudio cuantitativo, transversal y descriptivo). Se obtiene como resultado más relevante que los estudiantes que disponen de unidad docente en su ciudad de estudio conocen esta realidad y la opción de elegir esta especialidad como desarrollo profesional es mayor. Se concluye que la creación de las unidades docentes en esta especialidad es importante no solo por la posibilidad de formación, sino también por las expectativas que generan.

          ABSTRACT As the Spanish population is getting older and the Geriatric specialty of Nursing is developing in a slow and varied way among the autonomous regions of the country, the researches ask themselves: are the Educational Units of the Geriatric specialty of Nursing having any current influence on the undergraduate students’ knowledge and expectations about this Nursing specialty? This main objective is set: finding out if the undergraduate students of Nursing are better informed about the specialty of Geriatric Nursing because of the working of an Educational Unit established at the same city where they are studying. The required methodology is designed for measuring and describing the answers of two undergraduate student populations: one of them has an Educational Unit established at the same city and the other one has not (quantitative cross-descriptive design). The main result that has been found out is that the student population located on a city where an Educational Unit is working is better informed about the Geriatric specialty and their students are more likely to study this specialty. The researchers conclude that the Educational Units creation is really important not only for studying the specialty but for the expectations that they produce at the same time too.

          Attitudes and knowledge of the Greek nursing students towards older people.

          The proportion of older people has increased worldwide and so are the health problems related with ageing, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer that often need long-term nursing care. Nurses therefore, have a pivotal role in the care of older people. To evaluate the effects of education on nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards older people in Greece. Two hundred and twenty seven first and final year nursing students at a university and 191 first and final year nursing students at a Technological Education Institute completed a questionnaire, including demographic questions, the Kogan's Old People Scale and the Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz I. Attitudes towards older people were more positive in final year students in comparison to first year ones in both schools. Knowledge was found better only in relation to physical health in the final year students, in both schools. Age and female gender were found to influence both attitudes and knowledge positively. Nursing education in Greece seems to influence the attitudes and knowledge of nursing students towards older people. However, revisions and improvements in curricula are needed if nursing students are to gain a more holistic perspective of older people.
