Objective

To explore the latent profiles of undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of engaging in elderly care work and the influencing factors,and to provide references for improving elderly nursing education models.

Methods

From January to April 2025,599 undergraduate nursing students from six universities in Henan province were selected as the survey subjects.A general information questionnaire,the Nursing Students' Perceptions of Engaging in Elderly Care Work Scale, and the Attitudes Toward the Elderly Scale were used for the survey.Latent profile analysis was employed to identify the latent profiles of undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of engaging in elderly care work.Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors.

Results

Undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of engaging in elderly care work fell into three latent profiles:low cognition-expectation type (62%),moderate cognition-expectation type(24%),and high cognition-expectation type(14%).Logistic regression analysis showed that whether nursing was the first choice in the college entrance examination,whether living with elderly individuals,experience in caring for the elderly,optimism about the development prospects of the elderly care industry,and attitudes toward the elderly were influencing factors of the latent profiles of undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of engaging in elderly care work(P<0.05).

Conclusions

The low cognition-expectation type is the main profile among nursing students' perceptions of elderly care work.It suggests educators need to focus on comprehensive reform in geriatric nursing education.Reforms should address the nature of work,social recognition,interest, and career prospects.The goal is to enhance students' professional understanding and willingness to work in this field.
