Abstract
This study elucidated the relationship between subjective occupational prestige, geriatric nursing, and workplace environment. A questionnaire survey was administered to the nursing staff. Consequently, nursing roles that support daily life functions, essential for gerontological nursing, have been influenced by “discharge support for older adults living alone,” a nursing domain that sustains everyday life functions. Power has been shown to influence ethical workplace climate, nurses’ experience, and nurses’ subjective professional prestige toward their nursing jobs. Among these, the ability to organize one’s life is located at the point of interaction between the latent variables, and this ability can be improved through learning and training. Cultivating this ability directly contributes to an increase in “subjective occupational prestige.” In-service education is also vital for enhancing the practice of gerontological nursing, and increasing the subjective professional prestige of the nursing profession. Practicing nursing that supports daily life functions can contribute to ensuring high-quality nursing care.
