Revealing fourth-year nursing students' perceptions, expectations, and receipt of long-term care

By Alyssa Indar

Recent healthcare trends have highlighted the exponential growth of our aging population, both globally and locally. The global older adult population is expected to nearly triple by the year 2050 (United Nations, 2013). Within Canada, a quarter of the population will be over the age of 65 by the year 2051 (Statistics Canada, 2011). The Canadian healthcare system, like other systems worldwide, will need to evolve to meet the needs of our aging population. This suggests that nurses in most clinical settings will be involved in the care of older adults. It is necessary that nurses understand the unique health needs of older adults, as well as the various social, economic and contextual influences affecting their care.
