What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the impact of elderly care training provided to nursing students on their attitudes towards ageism. The intervention involves a structured training program designed to address stereotypes and prejudices associated with aging. Participants will be nursing students who have not previously received any training in elderly care, and they will complete a survey to assess changes in their attitudes before and after the training. The study is set in Istanbul, Turkey, where the elderly population is rapidly increasing, highlighting the need for improved care and understanding of age-related issues.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are nursing students over the age of 18 who are willing to participate and have not previously received training in elderly care.
Not a fit: Patients who are under 18 years old or those who have already received elderly care training will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this training could lead to more compassionate and effective care for elderly individuals by reducing ageist attitudes among future healthcare providers.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on similar interventions, the approach of training healthcare providers to combat ageism has shown promise in other contexts.
