Aotearoa New Zealand student nurses’ perceptions of working in aged care: August 2024

Résumé fourni par la source

Supporting an ageing population is a globally recognised challenge (United Nations, 2020; World Health Organization, 2023). In the next ten years, the healthcare sector in Aotearoa New Zealand will confront this significant issue as the number of older adults markedly increases (Stats NZ, 2020). By 2036 over a quarter of the population of New Zealand will be over 65 years old (Te Pou o te Whakaaro Nui, 2019.) This demographic shift warrants significant attention because of increasing longevity and the number of older adults that will be living with complex or multiple diagnoses requiring supportive healthcare. As a consequence of technological and medical advances, adults will be living longer with chronic illness and the effects of ageing.
