Home Health Care Workers' Attitudes Toward the Elderly

Abstract

This study examined home health care workers' attitudes toward the elderly and their elderly clients. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 106 home health care workers in South Central Florida in October 1994, using the Attitudes Toward the Elderly Questionnaire (ATE). Estimated internal consistency reliability of the scale was .60, using Cronbach's alpha. Findings suggest that home health care workers have positive attitudes toward the elderly, their elderly clients, and provide a reasonable level of service for them. Also, findings suggest that overall the attitudes and perceptions among urban and rural home health care workers are similar.
