description | BACKGROUND: There are huge demands for aged-care workers, and undergraduate gerontological nursing education plays a critical role in providing academic and professional training. PURPOSE: To examine relationships of characteristics, aged-care education, and gerontological nursing competencies with the intention to work in aged care. METHODS: An online survey was distributed to undergraduate nursing students between April and June 2022 to gather characteristics, relevant aged-care education, gerontological nursing competencies, and intentions to work in aged care data. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify determinants of the intention to work in aged care. RESULTS: Students (n = 358) who were older (p < 0.001) and who were married (p < 0.001) had higher intentions to work in aged care. “Promoting mental health and psychological well-being”, “Providing evidence-based dementia care”, and “Enabling access to technology”, were also associated with positive intentions. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence on determinants of the intention to work in aged care, particularly gerontological nursing competencies. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12912-023-01613-1. |
