Influence of Religiosity on the Saudi Nursing Students’ Attitudes Toward Older People and Perceptions on Elderly Care

Nursing students' knowledge, attitude and willingness toward the elderly care: A cross-sectional study

Self‐compassion influences the caring behaviour and compassion competence among saudi nursing students: A multi‐university study

“…This finding is worth noting because of the potential role of families in aiding the development of caring and compassion competencies of an individual (Al-Khraif et al, 2020).

Attitudes and work preferences toward older people among Malay undergraduate nursing students

“…28 It can be concluded that religion, such as Islam, may play an important role in the issue of caring for the older people. 29 Due to limited studies assessing the association between attitudes and work preferences toward older people among Malaysia population 12 and different findings from previous studies, 13,14,21,22,24,25 it is important to further explore on this topic. Thus, this study aimed to examine the association between attitudes and work preferences focusing on Malay undergraduate nursing students.…”
