Abstract

TOPIC: The population of the elderly is increasing rapidly in Japan. Nurses need to become more conscious of elderlu abuse. Ageism may affect the ability of nurses to discover elderly abuse.

PURPOSE：To Review literature concerning ageism among nurses in japan.

SOURCES: Selected published nursing literature 2001 to 2016 on Japan Medical Abstracts society.

RESULT: There were 22 articles, 2 of them were about ageism of nurses and care givers who work in nursing homes. All the other articles were about ageism of nursing students or educations of ageism in nursing schools. According to several authors (Kukihara,2012; Sano,2010;Tanaka,2007), education and experiences of associating with elderly people effects ageism. However there wasn’t any articles about ageism of nurses in general hospitals.
