Abstract
The world’s population is ageing; virtually every country in the world is
experiencing growth in the number and proportion of older persons in their
population. Ageing is the increasing share of older persons in the population and is
poised to become one of the most significant social transformations of the twentyfirst
century. Hence, the demand for long-term care facilities (LTCs) will be
increased accordingly. 26 LTCs was surveyed to evaluate the quality of the
institution's service on medication administration (MA) process. The aim of this
research was to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) on MA
process, and their associated predictors such as emotional, and education level
among respondents at LTCs.
