The problems faced by elderly nursing in China are as follows.

The problems faced by gerontology in China are: lack of professional nursing talents, slow development of gerontology, and imperfect laws and regulations related to gerontology.

1, lack of professional nursing talents

There are almost no professional elderly nursing talents in China. Most nurses engaged in geriatric nursing have low academic qualifications, a small number, no systematic geriatric nursing education, aging knowledge, unreasonable knowledge structure, and can only engage in general life and medical care, lacking professionalism, so they cannot be called geriatric nursing professionals.

2. The development of geriatric nursing is slow.

At present, the course of geriatric nursing in China has not been popularized nationwide, and the undergraduate teaching material of geriatric nursing was officially published in February 2000. There is no nursing college specializing in geriatric nursing, and geriatric nursing education is seriously lagging behind.

3. The laws and regulations related to pension are not perfect.

Judging from the current insurance situation in China, social endowment insurance only provides the most basic living guarantee, and the reform of social medical insurance is not yet fully mature, and there are many limitations that cannot cover all the elderly. Only for the working class, it can't meet the multi-level and multi-faceted needs and needs to be further improved.

Measures to be taken in nursing for the aged;

1. Strengthen nursing education for the aged and train nursing professionals for the aged.

Increase the propaganda of social pressure brought by the aging population, enhance people's awareness of respecting and loving the elderly, and form a correct understanding of the work of providing for the elderly. Promote the study of in-service and community nurses, bring more opportunities for community nurses and in-service nurses to learn and interact at home and abroad, and make them have more experience in nursing for the elderly.

2, the type and quantity of nursing equipment and facilities for the elderly.

In China, the development of geriatric nursing equipment has just started, and it needs to be further strengthened. We should also have a sense of scientific research, apply scientific research results to the equipment and facilities of the elderly as much as possible, and provide effective nursing equipment for the elderly without spending too much cost.

3. Further improve the nursing guarantee mechanism for the elderly.

Intensify efforts to improve and perfect medical and health care, strengthen elderly care services, and improve the elderly care security mechanism. At the same time, build a variety of medical security mechanisms. The Ministry of Health and relevant government agencies need to pay enough attention to the nursing needs of the elderly, and improve and perfect the management system and related configuration.
