Attitude Changes toward the Elderly:

Abstract

This study investigates attitude change toward older people by patient educators and inservice trainers of patient educators who attended national training programs in which the instructional design was affectively as well as cognitively oriented. The subjects represented nursing, physical and occupational therapy, social work, and health education. Using the mean ratings, comparisons were made between the positive and negative scores on the pre and post-administrations of the Kogan Old People Scales. Results indicate positive attitude scores increased at all programs and negative . attitudes decreased at four of the five programs. The conclusion is that programs designed for health care providers who work with the elderly can achieve positive shifts in attitudes toward the elderly if that is one of the instructional design considerations.
