“…The small change in attitudes on the OP from moderately neutral to slightly positive in this study is consistent with other research [4,6,7,12,15,30] . These results suggested that nurses with a higher level of education acquire more positive attitudes towards older people [31] .…”

“…In the last decade, several studies investigating nursing students' knowledge of, and attitudes toward older people and their willingness to work with them have been conducted in Jordan, Australia, Greece, Belgium, Turkey and China [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . The majority of these studies concluded that most nursing students have little knowledge and interest in working with older people [4,8,10,11] .…”

Background: Due to changing demographics in the population, the majority of current nursing students will work mostly with older people after graduation. It is known that most nursing students have little knowledge and interests in working with older people. There is a growing need for motivated nurses to provide care for older people as the quality of care is influenced by their attitudes. The objective of this study is to investigate Dutch nursing students' knowledge of and attitudes toward older people and their willingness to work with older people and how this knowledge and attitudes changes after three years education. Methods:A longitudinal cohort study with follow-up among 113 first-year Dutch nursing students pursuing a Bachelor's degree was conducted. Data for this study was collected with three instruments. Knowledge of the first-year students was assessed with Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz. Students' attitudes were measured with the Aging Semantic Differential scale and Kogan's Attitudes toward Older People scale. The same measurements were also obtained three years later when they were fourth-year nursing students. The first data collection started in 2005. The follow-up period took place between 2008 and 2009. Results:The results show that the nursing students have a moderate knowledge level about older people: first-year students answered less than half of the questions correctly and after three years, almost half of the questions were answered properly. The attitude of the students toward older people on the ASD changed from slightly negative to neutral after three years of education. The attitude of nursing students on the OP changed from moderately neutral to slightly positive. Few first and fourth-year students (2.7% and 3.7%) were interested in working with older people after their nursing education. Most students (72.8%) indicated that working with older people would be as satisfying as working with younger people. Conclusion:Nursing students are not well prepared for working with predominately older people. Education should focus on increasing positive working experiences with older people. Revision and improvement in the curricula might be needed to enhance the knowledge and attitudes of the Dutch nursing students.

“…Overall, males were less positive than females (Bernardini Zambrini et al, 2008;Pan et al, 2009;Usta et al 2012). A reason offered by the researchers was culturally based, where men are not expected to be the carers for older people.…”

“…However, Xiao et al (2013) Researchers often attributed traditional cultural values of obedience, respect and providing protection for the older person usually found in non-Western countries for positive attitudes of undergraduate nurses (Celik et al, 2010;Pan et al, 2009;Rejeh et al, 2011;Usta et al, 2012;Xiao et al, 2013;Zverev, 2013). Further discussion considered the importance of maintaining these values in light of the changes occurring in traditional multi-generational families.…”

Objectives: This literature review was undertaken to evaluate undergraduate nurses' attitudes and perspectives toward older people and perceptions of working with older people. The objectives were to (1) identify if undergraduate nurses hold positive or negative attitudes and perspectives toward older people and perceptions of working with older people, and (2) determine if positive attitudes, perspectives and perceptions can be established, maintained and improved with curriculum activities. Results and Conclusions:The analysis of 32 studies revealed that undergraduate nurses' attitudes, perspectives and perceptions are positive and it is recommended this be the starting point for the development of curriculum activities and future research to maintain and improve this result. Finally, the limitations of recent studies are identified and a research agenda for future studies proposed.
