“…Numerous studies focused on identifying the attitudes of health care providers toward elderly people and elderly care (Mellor, 2007;Lovell, 2006;Söderhamn et al, 2001) in different loci such as the U.S. (Cozort, 2008), Sweden (Söderhamn et al, 2001), and Australia (Mellor, 2007). As indicated by the findings of these studies, health care providers have negative attitudes toward the elderly (Cozort, 2008;Valimaki, Haapsaari, Katajisto, & Suhonen, 2008;Lovell, 2006;Williams et al, 2006;Beling, 2004) and elderly care, particularly nurses (Söderhamn et al, 2001). However, little is known about the attitudes of nurses in Asia, particularly in the Philippines, which according to World Health Organization (WHO) is the largest exporter of nurses to foreign countries (de Guzman, Perlas, Palacios, & Peralta, 2007).…”
