Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 137 outpatient nurses was conducted from March 29 to April 11, 2024. Participants were recruited via an online flyer posted in a nationwide nursing community. Data were collected using three validated instruments: Knowledge of Older Patients Quiz, Fraboni Scale of Ageism, and Nursing Assessment of Communication Competency Scale. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA with Scheffé post hoc tests, and multiple linear regression analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 29.0. Results: Significant differences in therapeutic communication competency were identified based on marital status (p=.007), engagement in overtime work (p=.006), and longer clinical experience than 10 years (p=.010). Lower levels of ageism were significantly associated with higher competency of therapeutic communication (β=-0.27, p=.001), while gerontological nursing knowledge was not. Conclusion: Continuous training of anti-ageism attitude may enhance therapeutic communication competency of outpatient nurses with older adults. Leveraging experienced nurses and improving work conditions also support effective communication in outpatient settings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
