This study examined the types of touch received by elderly patients from nurses, and explored the elderly patients´ and nurses´ perceptions of touch occuring during nursing activities. Non --participant observation and semi-structured interviews were the methods employed for data collection. The stud-y subjects were composed of 24 nurses of the three medical wards, and their 83 elderly patients who were hospitalized at S Hospital in Seoul from February 15th to March 15th in 1996. The Observation Schedule, the Perception of Touch Instrument, and the Patient classification were study instruments.
The most common types of touch occurring during the nurse-elderly patient interactions were : task touch(82.9%), caring touch(4.9%), and concurrent type of touch (12.2%). The mean score of the elderly patients´ perception of touch was higher at 30. 45(range 535) compared to the mean score of the nurses´ perception of touch which was 23.01(range 5-35). Elderly patients received the nurses´ touch much more positively than the nurses. But the two scores were not significantly correlated (r=. 06,
29). The elderly patients´ touch perception score was higher(p<.05) in the group that was touched upon approach than the group was touched later. Elderly patients preferred caring touch to task touch, but it was not significant. Nurses´ touch perception scores were higher(p<.05) for female than male. Elderly patients felt most comfortable when the nurses administered the touch on their painful site.
