| Annotation | In this issue of Age and Ageing, Cooper and Coleman report their use of personal construct theory to re-examine factors that make work with older patients so difficult and unappealing for nurses. Personal construct theory posits that people continually ask questions of their world, in the hope of making sense of it, and, in turn, develop constructs that explain what they expect to occur. This editorial introduces Cooper and Coleman's study in the context of previous articles on nurses' and care assistants' attitudes to older people, including those with dementia. (RH). |
