The purpose of study was to examine the relationships between knowledge and attitude toward the elderly, family health, image of the elderly, and elderly discrimination for nursing students and to identify the factors affecting elderly discrimination for them.
The subjects of this study were 208 nursing students from G University located in J city and from M University located in C city. Data were collected from October 13th to October 25th, 2022.
The collected data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, standard deviation, Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression by the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program.
The results of this study are summarized as follows.
1) The nursing students’ mean score of knowledge of the elderly was 11.46±3.23 (range 0-25) and the percentage of correct answers was 46%. There was a significant differences between the levels of grade in knowledge of the elderly (F=3.55, p=.015).
2) The nursing students’ mean score of attitudes toward the elderly was 3.86±0.73 (range 1-7). There were significant differences between gender (t=2.00, p=.047), levels of grade (F=2.72, p=.045), and experience of elderly-related education (t=-2.38, p=.018) in attitudes toward the elderly.
3) The nursing students’ mean score of family health was 3.89±0.69 (range 1-5). There was no significant differences between general characteristics in family health.
4) The nursing students’ mean score of the elderly image was 3.02±0.34 (range 1-5). There was a significant difference between gender in elderly image (t=-4.27, p<.001).
5) The nursing students’ mean score of elderly discrimination was 2.21±0.27 (range 1-4). There were significant differences between experience of elderly-related education (t=-3.90, p<.001) and experience of elderly-related volunteer (t=-2.79, p=.009) in elderly discrimination.
6) There was a positive relationship between elderly discrimination and attitudes toward the elderly (r=.42, p<.001), while there were negative relationships between elderly discrimination and knowledge of the elderly (r=-.16, p=.016), family health (r=-.25, p<.001) as well as images of the elderly (r=-.43, p<.001).
7) The factors affecting elderly discrimination for nursing students were experience of elderly-related education (β=.19, p=.002), attitude toward the elderly (β=.16, p=.041), family health (β=-.16, p=.008), image of the elderly (β=-.26, p=.001) explaining 30.1% of the variance.
In conclusion, the factors affecting nursing student’s elderly discrimination were attitude toward the elderly, family health, and image of the elderly. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that various efforts and strategies such as research about the development of educational program are needed to improve the perception of elderly discrimination.
