“…In the UK ageism and discriminatory attitudes have been evident across health and social services at different levels, for example at policy level through to screening and accessing services (Ouchida and Lachs 2015). These practices need to be challenged (Faronbi et al 2017).…”

Nursing Older People

The global population is ageing, and this trend is expected to continue. Cultures around the world socialise with older people differently with distinctive attitudes towards ageing. Ageism is a complex multifaceted concept that includes attitudes and behaviours. In the UK, ageism and discriminatory practices exist within nursing, and nurse educationalists and clinicians need to address ageist attitudes and promote older people care as healthcare needs increase. Within the context of nursing there is a lack of synthesised evidence which measures ageism amongst nursing students. This paper examines the Relating to Older People Evaluation (ROPE) questionnaire which has been used in different student populations in Higher Education (HE) including nursing students. A systematic search across databases was conducted from June 2007 to December 2017 resulting in 6 quantitative studies. Statistical analysis of ROPE was not possible, so a thematic analysis of the narrative was completed identifying two themes: attitudes predict behaviour and socialisation to ageism in HE. There remains a need to explore ageism and ageist attitudes of student nurses in HE. The ROPE is a suitable tool to measure student nurses' ageist attitudes and behaviours.

“…Likewise, Rathnayake et al [17] in Sri Lanka found that half of the students had slightly positive attitudes toward older people. In the same stream, higher percentage was reported by Faronbi et al [6] in Ile-Ife, Nigeria who find out that more than two third of participants held a positive attitude towards the care of elderly. Also, Lee et al [18] and Lee et al [19] in USA stated that nursing students expressed more positive than negative attitude toward elderly.…”

“…Nurses' role in caring for elderly is multidimensional; they are provider of direct care, teach modifiable risk factors (e.g., healthy diet, physical activity, stress management), are managers and advocates [6] .Current medical students might have limited awareness that their future professional career will mostly revolve around older people. Such change presents overabundance of challenges especially the increasing demand for professional caregivers.…”

Background The increasing of older adults has led to enormous demand for medical care. However, as a group with unique needs and characteristics, older adults are often discriminated against in the medical field. In this paper, we aimed to translate the Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA) into Chinese and examine its construct validity, content validity, and reliability in Chinese mainland medical students. In order to evaluate the prevalence of ageism in Chinese medical students and prompt medical college to adopt necessary teaching methods to mitigate ageism in medical students. Methods By Brislin's translation guidelines, FSA was translated to Chinese. The convenient sampling method was used to select samples for this survey, including 1,974 students from two medical schools in central and north China. Construct validity was verified by the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The content validity index (CVI) was used to assess content validity. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to estimate reliability. Results The alpha coefficients for FSA (Chinese version) was 0.81 and ICC was 0.87. The CVI was 0.93. Three factors were identified by exploratory factor analysis explaining 34.84% of the total variance and a three-factor model was confirmed to fit by confirmatory factor analysis. Conclusions FSA (Chinese version) is a reliable and valid scale for measuring discrimination degree against the older adults in Chinese medical students.
