Abstract
By 2036 more than a quarter of New Zealand’s population will be over 65 years old. This change in demographics will alter the characteristics of those who utilise health services for treatment. Nurse education curricula will need to adapt to produce a future nursing workforce ready for this population change. In 2020, a one centre exploratory study demonstrated gaps in student preparation for placement in aged residential care facilities and further highlighted a lack of variety in placement and opportunity to view older adults as anything other than frail and dependent1. Funding was received to extend this initial study nationally and to re-imagine how nurse education might contribute to the development of a future nursing workforce capable of meeting the health needs of older adults. All centres with schools of nursing in the polytechnic sector in New Zealand were invited to participate. This sector graduates 75% of student nurses annually.
This poster reports on the integration of findings from two simultaneously conducted replication studies carried out in 2022: ‘A national survey of student perceptions of working in aged care’, and ‘A stocktake of placement preparation and clinical experience for New Zealand student nurses in aged care settings.’
