A study, employing Kogan's Old People Scale, was conducted to investigate undergraduate pharmacy students' attitudes toward the elderly. A total of 266 students from one school of pharmacy in their last three years of schooling comprised the sample. Demographic and experiential factors with the aged also were examined as to their relationship with the students' attitudes, but only one of these variables was found to be significant. Female students had a significantly more favorable attitude toward the aged than males. Overall the results showed that the students had a favorable attitude toward the elderly, which was consistent with other studies employing college students, but which was in contrast to other health professionals and medical and dentistry students. A discussion is made as to why this difference exists and the importance of future research in this area.
一项使用科根老年人量表的研究，旨在调查药学专业本科学生对老年人的态度。来自一所药学院最后三年学习阶段的266名学生组成了样本。还研究了与老年人相关的人口统计学和经验因素与学生态度之间的关系，但发现这些变量中只有一个具有显著性。女生对老年人的态度明显比男生更积极。总体结果表明，学生们对老年人持积极态度，这与其他针对大学生的研究一致，但与其他健康专业人员以及医学和牙科专业的学生形成对比。文中讨论了这种差异存在的原因以及该领域未来研究的重要性。
