Aging Bias

Author Note
Ageism is a prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping against people on the basis of their age. Ageism is an insidious and widespread practice that creates a harmful effect on older peoples health. Ageism is an everyday challenge for older people. Restricted from social service overlooked for employment, ageism marginalizes and stereotyped aged people in their community. Unlike sexism and racism, ageism is not countered widely and have a negative impact on the wellbeing and health of older people. Ageism in nursing is usually represented ambiguously within a profession of nursing and difficult to grasp. Ageism affects the shift time and staffing pattern. Nursing practice is usually associated with physicality and youth, although often without full evidence to support myth and perception. Nursing emphasizes physical work and youth in many health care settings. Studies have shown that ageism is particularly problematic in nursing practice. Older nurses usually leave practice setting which results in a risk of a shortage of nurses. Studies have shown that older nurses have been stereotyped as out of touch, angry and pushed to retirement. Unlike individual and social construction of ethnicity and race, ageism presents both threats and opportunities to identity and self. Ageism may elicit outright fear and worry thus triggering disparagement and hostility among older nurses. Negative ageism also intersects with sexism and racism leaving elder nurses so-called minority groups making them vulnerable to societal assault.
Despite professional and social demographics, ageism manifests as interpersonal and social discrimination based on advancing age. The most common impact of ageism on nursing practice is a negative judgment and violent and hurtful actions against others on the perception of advanced age. Sometime ageism is also associated with physical and psychological abuse of older people. Ageism is commonly misunderstood by health care professionals and nurses. Nurses tend to take care of older people as their duty. Most of the practice environment is linked with physicality and youth. Ageism in nursing diminishes patient care quality, worsens the shortage of nurses and also damages mentoring relationships. This is due to the long-standing biases among supervisors and administrators as well as the tension between young and older nurses. An evidence-based approach is a self-care management education plan that should be carried out in a community setting. Self-care education programs can improve key aspects of both communicable and non-communicable disease management like patient-provider communication and medication compliance.
Ageism is a discrimination or stereotyping against people or groups based on their age. It may be a cause due to system. The term was quoted by Robert Neil Butler and the intention was to describe the discrimination against adults and older people in the community. The discrimination against older people is considered as violence against them. For example, biases have been observed in the celebration of birthday parties of old people with black balloons and to pass racial and age related comments against them. Older people are usually ignored in hospitals and they have to wait for hours for the treatment. They have been victim of the social and communal discrimination in the societies and communities. Healthcare providers have been observed to be violent and overreact them such as shouting in the facilities while providing them healthcare facilities. They are the first victim of the sexual violence and misbehavior among the societies.
Through evidence-based environmental adaptation, communication technique and meaningful life enrichment program ageism can be addressed. Awareness should be created among nurses regarding how to combat the negative impact of ageism in nursing. Different workshops and conferences should be conducted to remove the stereotype that is associated with age aim. Evidence-based campaigns should be carried out to adopt a positive attitude towards the older workforce and to increase awareness. The main goal of these community education programs should be to change the behavior and attitude of people toward ageism. The main purpose of a community education plan is to develop the capacity of individuals through their actions to improve the quality of life of older people. This will be a coordinated and comprehensive plan for providing recreational, cultural and social services to aged people in the community. The educational partnership between the public and private sectors will be developed for the cooperative use of all available resources to reduce the stigma associated with ageism.
The main audience for this community education program will be nurses, fresh graduates, and health care professionals. Nurse leaders have the authority to develop the management and workplace strategies and to shape new practices among their clinical nurses. A community-based education plan will be developed by creating a more flexible tradition and interpretations in nursing including mentorship, staffing model and shift design. Simple interventions such as educating nurses will have proved to be very effective in changing the belief and attitudes that result in improved nursing care.
