Abstract

We conducted a survey to investigate the geriatric care competencies of nurses in the hospital. We found that nurse who have already received geriatric care continuous education have higher geriatric care competencies. We suggested that more geriatric care continuous education should be established and standardized in our nursing continuous education.
