Staff Opinion Differences between Geriatric and Non-Geriatric Treatment Wards at a State Mental Hospital (open access)

Staff Opinion Differences between Geriatric and Non-Geriatric Treatment Wards at a State Mental Hospital

The primary purposes of the present study were (1) to see in which way, if any, the measured attitudes of psychiatric aides employed on geriatric wards differed from those of aides employed on non-geriatric wards at the same hospital; and (2) to explore the relationships between measured attitudes and other variables such as age, education, amount of experience as an aide, amount of experience on either geriatric or non-geriatric wards, and the number of patients per aide on each ward.
