Abstract:
Aim: To find out what young people think about ageism. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive design study, conducted with 78 community-dwelling young people (aged 18–25 years). Socio-demographic questionnaire and Ageism Attitude Scale (three subscales, high scores indicating positive attitude, max.115) were used for data collection. Results: Young people's views regarding ageing and ageism were found to be positive, as seen by the scale's mean score of 81.58.9. There was a considerable difference between the scores of young unmarried persons and young married people. If you intend on living with your parents when you become older, you'll earn a better score than if you don't plan on doing so (p0.05). Conclusion: To maintain favourable views about the elderly and ageing, programmes aimed at educating youngsters about ageing are needed..
