Sponsor's own description
Background: Healthcare settings must be a patient-friendly environment for the investigator's older adults who are in an imperative need for compassionate healthcare when approaching their later life. However, older adults until this moment are experiencing age discriminative acts by nurses who are supposed to act in favor of their patients. Ageism is not always a result of either negative attitudes or misconceptions toward older adults, but to the innate fear of death where nurses perceive older adults as a powerful reminder of death. Although cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is well known for targeting psychological distresses, to date, no research has investigated its effectiveness in relieving nurses' death anxiety and ageism. This study examined the effectiveness of CBT to relieve nurses' death anxiety and ageism toward older adults. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted during August 2019 in the university hospital. A total of 110 nurses selected through proportional stratified sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of six two-hour training sessions delivered in five modules with the integration of different CBT exercises. The effect of CBT was assessed on measures of a series of validated questionnaires of study variables before and after the training sessions.
