“…Consequently, their positive attitude toward elderly also increases as their personal contact with elderly give them confidence. Conversely, there has been a suggestion postulate that exposure to clinical setting could impose negative attitude from radiographers (Booth & Kada, 2015).Apart from that, the CGPA observed in this study shows increment patterns of the total KAOP+ median score on contrary to expose shows a small correlation with CGPA. This is due to the fact that the students do not enroll in specific gerontology studies or aging education courses.…”

A positive attitude is an essential element towards delivering a high-quality patient care for older people. A consequence of aging population in Malaysia is that Medical imaging students are increasingly exposed to older people during their clinical attachments and importantly as a graduated technologist. This study attempted to determine the Medical Imaging students' attitudes towards elderly in Malaysia based on 5 selective characteristics. This study employed a self-administered questionnaire involving 283 students. The finding revealed that well exposed and good result students' have a better attitude towards elderly. This study suggested relevant educational intervention and community engagement program.

“…[2] Despite this upward trend in frontline clinical practice, a strong body of contemporary evidence suggests that negative staff/trainee attitudes towards older people remain prevalent in a number of healthcare domains, including radiography itself. [3][4][5][6][7][8] The consequences of this situation for patient care is logically a matter of some concern, [5,9] though the history of social psychology shows us that establishing a defensible causal link between expressed attitudes and practical behaviours in any domain remains a problematic task at best. [10] It is certainly the case that no study in radiography has to date explored, in any manner, the impacts of given professional attitudes towards older patients in direct clinical practice.…”

Students held positive attitudes towards older people pre intervention, these increased significantly post intervention (p = 0.01). However, this increase in positive scores was not noted at 6 months and 12-months post intervention. At 24-months post intervention, although there was a slight increase in positive attitudes when compared to the 6 and 12 month scores, this increase was not found to be significant (p = 0.178) CONCLUSION: The results post-intervention suggested that an educational intervention can have a significant impact on student radiographer's attitudes towards older people. However, the qualitative data suggests that experiences on initial clinical placement can be detrimental to attitudinal scores, particularly if the intervention does not include Dementia care strategies.

“…Of the 11 pre/post intervention without control studies in this review, eight reported a significant improvement in attitudes to older people, using a range of scales (Booth & Kada, 2015; Chen et al., 2015a, 2015b; de Abreu et al., 2017; Evans et al., 2005; Fernandes et al., 2019; Halpin, 2015; Varkey et al., 2006). One study (Robinson & Rosher, 2001) found no overall difference in attitude post intervention on the ASD, but did find a significant improvement on the instrumental subscale which related to attitudes to older people's ability to improve, change and pursue goals.…”

Aim To identify, evaluate and summarize evidence from qualitative, quantitative and mixed method studies conducted using age suits or other age simulation equipment, with health and social care students. Design Convergent segregated mixed method review design as outlined by the Johanna Briggs Institute. Data Sources CINAHL (+ with Full Text), MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, SocINDEX, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Emerald Insight, Proquest nursing, Science Direct, Wiley Online and BioMed Central (January 2000–January 2020). Review methods Convergent segregated synthesis was used to synthesize evidence from the studies and the MERSQI checklist used to appraise quality. Results A total of 23 studies were reviewed: one randomized control, two post‐test only randomized control, three quasi‐experimental, 15 one‐group pre/post studies and two qualitative studies. Of the seventeen studies carrying out inferential statistics on attitude scores post intervention, 11 reported an improvement, three indicated no significant change and three reported worsening scores. Key themes included use of appropriate scales, type of equipment used, location and length of interactions, debriefing and contextualization of interventions in broader teaching. Conclusion The impact of ageing simulation interventions on health and social care student's attitudes to older people was predominantly positive. However, further high‐quality research is warranted to understand the optimal use of such interventions in the context of health care for a growing ageing population. Impact It is important health and social care staff have appropriate knowledge and training to enable them to provide high‐quality care to older people and challenge potential ageism in the system. This review adds to the body of work around the use of simulation and experiential learning to educate health and social care students about ageing and ageism. It also offers recommendations for using ageing simulations effectively to inform attitudes of prospective professionals who will influence future health and social care.
