Older adults often experience different forms of discrimination, whether it be on the basis of their age, gender, race, or ethnicity (Rochon et al. 2021). Many older adults have stated they have experienced the health care system differently because of their race or ethnicity . Understanding older adults' experiences and their perceptions of ageism and racism can guide future work. This observational cross-sectional study captured community-dwelling older adults' perceptions about their experiences with ageism and racism. A few opened-ended questions were included in the cross-sectional survey. While results did not yield differences with respect to perceptions of ageism by race; there were statistically significant results in regard to perceived racism, with higher scores on the racism scales for individuals who self-identified as Black. Discussion and implications for practice, policy and research are explored.
老年人经常会经历不同形式的歧视，无论是基于年龄、性别、种族还是族裔（Rochon 等人，2021 年）。许多老年人表示，由于他们的种族或族裔，他们在医疗保健系统中经历了不同的待遇。了解老年人的经历以及他们对年龄歧视和种族主义的看法，可以为未来的工作提供指导。这项观察性横断面研究捕捉了社区居住的老年人对他们经历年龄歧视和种族主义的看法。在横断面调查中纳入了一些开放式问题。虽然结果没有显示出种族对年龄歧视看法的差异，但在感知到的种族主义方面存在统计学上的显著差异，自我认同为黑人的个体在种族主义量表上的得分更高。探讨了讨论和对实践、政策和研究的影响。
