Objectives: To examine the attitudes of second-year graduate nursing students about the elderly and care for the aforementioned population, and to identify their level of knowledge about aging and old age, as well as to examine whether there is a connection between the level of knowledge and attitudes. Study design: A cross-sectional study. Participants and methods: The research was conducted during March and April 2023, and the data was collected through online communication channels using the Google Forms platform. Second-year graduate nursing students were involved in this research, and filling in the questionnaire was anonymous and voluntary. A total of 56 respondents filled out the questionnaire. The first part of the questionnaire referred to demographic data, the second part (UCLA-GAS) examined the participants’ attitudes, while the third part (FAQ) examined their knowledge. Results: A weak positive correlation was found between knowledge and attitudes – the greater the knowledge, the more positive the attitudes. According to the research results, students display average knowledge, and their attitudes are neutral. A correlation was found between living in an urban environment and a higher level of knowledge. The most correct answers were recorded for statements related to the biological aspects of aging, and attitudes were more positive when asked about society's duty to provide care for the elderly, while answers to psychosocial aspects produced worse results. Conclusion: The obtained results show the need for additional education and a greater focus of the curriculum on the psychosocial aspects of aging, as well as an increase in interaction with the elderly through practical classes.
