“…Uğurlu et al 104 determined that the attitudes of healthcare workers toward the elderly are generally positive 104 . Other research has revealed that doctors and nurses have positive attitudes toward the elderly 21,105‐111 . The fact that the general conclusion in research conducted in Turkey is that healthcare workers have positive attitudes toward elderly individuals may originate from the appearance of the elderly as individuals who are valued, wise, and respected by society.…”

Purpose: The Fraboni scale of ageism (FSA) is one of the scales used to determine ageism, which is the expression of prejudice toward the elderly because of their age through attitudes and behaviors. The purpose of this study is to determine the psychometric properties, factor analysis, and cutoff value for the FSA in a sampling of healthcare workers. Design and Methods: The sampling of this study was conducted methodologically in a descriptive and relationship-seeking type of research and comprised 814 healthcare workers employed at a university and state hospital. Findings: As a result of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, it was found that the FSA comprised 29 items and three subdimensions, that these three factors explain approximately 30.23% of the total variance, and that the cutoff value is 78.

“…The physicians, specialized in any branch of medicine, obviously will encounter older adult patients in the future because of structural alterations in population pyramids. Evaluation, examination, follow-up or nursing of the older adults requires certain exclusive aspects of medical knowledge and skills which are supposed to have been gorgeously grasped by the physicians or any other health care professionals occupying with the older adults (10). Therefore, it is considered that relaying of those medical aspects to the medical students help us conquer the common fear of examining older adults, overcome the difficulties and reduce mistakes in patient diagnosis and treatment.…”

Introduction:The elderly population is rapidly growing, and healthcare professionals are currently providing increased care for the elderly. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an elective geriatric nursing course on the attitude of students toward the elderly and students' willingness to work with them.Materials and Method: This study was a quasi-experimental. Pretest-posttest design was used. The sample comprised 108 nursing students (46 of the students were educated in an elective geriatric nursing course, 62 were educated in an elective emergency and surgery nursing course). The Student Information Form and Kogan's Attitudes Towards Old People Scale were used. Value, average, percentage frequency distribution, paired t tests, independent t test, McNemar's test, and chi-square test were used.Results: Students who participated in the elective geriatric nursing course developed more positive and less negative attitudes toward the elderly after the course in comparison with students who participated in the elective emergency and surgery nursing course.Conclusion: It is important that the curriculum of the geriatric nursing course should create awareness and knowledge in students regarding care of and attitudes toward the elderly. Adopting a more positive and less negative attitude ensures a higher quality care for the elderly. There is a need to revise the nursing curriculum and develop innovative schemes that will increase the students' willingness to work with the elderly.
