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.
本研究调查了家庭健康护理工作者对老年人及其老年客户的态度。1994年10月，采用《对老年人态度问卷》（ATE），从佛罗里达州中南部106名家庭健康护理工作者的便利样本中收集数据。使用克朗巴赫α系数，该量表的估计内部一致性信度为0.60。研究结果表明，家庭健康护理工作者对老年人及其老年客户持积极态度，并为他们提供合理水平的服务。此外，研究结果表明，总体而言，城市和农村家庭健康护理工作者的态度和看法相似。
