Abstract
The increasing population of older adults is one of the main issues facing health care systems. Nurses caring for the elderly need to have a positive attitude toward older adults to provide optimal care. Yet, the literature reveals that student nurses' attitudes toward working with older adults tend to be negative. This article presents the current research on student nurses' attitudes toward caring for older adults and outlines practical suggestions for fostering positive attitudes.
