ÖZET
 Amaç: Sağlık alanında tanı koyma ve tedavi yöntemlerinin gelişmesi sonucu yaşlı nüfusun artmasına paralel olarak yoğun bakımda tedavi gören yaşlı hasta sayısı ve bu hastaların bakım ihtiyacı da gittikçe artmaktadır. Yaşlı nüfusla birlikte artmış olan bakım ihtiyacının giderilmesi ve sunulan bakım kalitesinin artırılması için sağlık kurumlarında çalışan tüm personelin yaşlı hasta ayrımcılığı konusundaki tutumlarını belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bireylerin, yaşlılık dönemini nasıl algıladıkları önemlidir. Sıklıkla, yaşlılara yönelik kişilerde yer eden olumsuz yaşlı imajının ve dolayısıyla ön yargılı yaklaşımın toplumdaki yaşlı ayrımcılığını desteklediği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, erişkin yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan hemşirelerin yaşlı ayrımcılığına ilişkin tutumlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Analitik-kesitsel tipte olan çalışmaya 103 yoğun bakım hemşiresi katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında ''kişisel bilgi formu'' ve ''Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği'' kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizinde ortalama, standart sapma, sayı ve yüzde değerleri kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin yaşlı ayrımcılığına yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kendi ebeveynleriyle yaşamak istemediğini belirten hemşirelerin yaşlıya yönelik olumsuz ayrımcılık puan ortalamasının daha yüksek olduğugörülmüştür. Kardeş sayısı, aile yapısı, medeni durum ve anne babanın mesleği yönünden tutum ölçeği puanları arasında istatistiksel fark bulunamamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda, yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin yaşlı ayrımcılığına ilişkin olumlu tutuma sahip oldukları, katılımcıların kendilerine ihtiyaçları olduğunda anne babaları ile birlikte yaşamaya sıcak baktıkları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca kendi ebeveynleriyle yaşamak istemediğini belirten hemşirelerin yaşlıya yönelik olumsuz ayrımcılık puan ortalamasının daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: In parallel with the increase in the elderly population as a result of the development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the field of health, the number of elderly patients being treated in intensive care and the care needs of these patients are also increasing. It is important to determine the attitudes of all personnel working in health institutions towards discrimination of elderly patients in order to meet the need for care that has increased with the elderly population and to increase the quality of care provided. It is important how individuals perceive the period of old age. It is often thought that the negative image of the elderly and thus the prejudiced approach towards the elderly support elderly discrimination in the society. This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of nurses working in adult intensive care units towards elderly discrimination. Material and Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 103 intensive care nurses participated. ''Personal information form'' and ''Elderly Discrimination Attitude Scale'' were used to collect the data. Mean, standard deviation, number and percentage values were used in the statistical analysis of the data obtained. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results: In our study, it was determined that the attitudes of intensive care nurses towards elderly discrimination were positive. Nurses who stated that they did not want to live with their own parents had negative attitudes towards elderly discrimination. Number of siblings, family structure, marital status and parents' profession wasn't statistical difference between the attitude scale scores in terms of occupation (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was determined that intensive care nurses had positive attitudes towards elderly discrimination, and that the participants favored living with their parents when they needed them. In addition, it was concluded that nurses who stated that they did not want to live with their own parents had a higher mean score of negative discrimination against the elderly.
