Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the attitudes among intensive care nurses towards older people and the use of physical restraints.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed between February-April 2016. The study designed in survey method was conducted on 107 nurses working in intensive care units of three hospitals. In the study, data were collected by using the “Survey Form”, “ The Scale for Measuring Nurses’ Knowledge Level, Attitudes and Practices regarding the Use of Physical Restraints” and Ageism Attitude Scale (AAS).
Results: The average scores of intensive care nurses regarding the use of physical restraints were found to be 7.22±1.59 for their knowledge, 31.60±5.80 for their attitudes and 37.64±2.99 with respect to the practice of restraining devices. Their average score regarding the Ageism Attitude Scale, on the other hand, was 86.13±9.44. There was no correlation between the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of the nurses about the use of physical restraint and their attitudes towards the elderly.
Conclusion: It was found that the knowledge level of the nurses about the use of physical restraints wkaas good, their attitudes were positive and their practices were sufficient, and their attitudes towards the elderly were positive.

Özet
Amaç: Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin yaşlılara yönelik tutumları ile fiziksel tespit edici kullanımına ilişkin bilgi, tutum ve uygulamaları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma, kesitsel tipte olup, Şubat-Nisan 2016 tarihleri arasında iki üniversite hastanesi ve bir özel hastanenin yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan 107 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler, “Anket Formu”, “Hemşirelerin Fiziksel Tespit Edici Kullanımına İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyi, Tutum ve Uygulamaları Ölçeği” ile “Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği (YATÖ)” kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Yoğun bakım hemşirelerin fiziksel tespit kullanımına ilişkin bilgi puan ortalaması 7.22±1.59, tutum puan ortalaması 31.60±5.80, uygulama puan ortalaması 37.64±2.99 olarak bulundu. Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin YATÖ toplam puan ortalaması 86.13±9.44 olarak bulundu. Hemşirelerin fiziksel tespit kullanımına ilişkin bilgi düzeyi, tutum ve uygulamaları ile yaşlılara yönelik tutumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Hemşirelerin fiziksel tespit edici kullanımına ilişkin bilgi düzeylerinin iyi, tutumlarının olumlu ve uygulamalarının yeterli düzeyde olduğu ve yaşlılara yönelik tutumlarının ise olumlu olduğu bulundu. Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin fiziksel tespit uygulamasını, yaşlı hastanın güvenliğini sağlamada bakımın bir parçası olarak gördükleri düşünülmektedir.
