The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the image of the elderly and knowledge of the elderly on the positive coping behavior of nursing care workers in the presence of aggressive elderly. For this purpose, an online/offline survey of 284 nursing care workers was conducted from June 2020 to August 2020. For the data analysis, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were performed using SPSS 21.0. According to the results, the images of the elderly held by nursing care workers were positive in terms of social image, psychological image, and physical image, and significant differences were found among workers depending on their age, religion, type of facilities, number of elderly residents in charge, and facility size. The level of elderly knowledge was lower than the average, and there were significant differences depending on level of educational, type of facility, and working period. It was found that nursing care workers responded positively to aggressive elderly in terms of 'verbal discussion', 'change of mood', 'removal of occurrence factors', and 'contact'. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the lower the ag e of the nursing care worker, the more negative the image of the elderly, a higher level of knowledge of the elderly was associated with an increase in positive coping behavior towards aggressive elderly. Based on these results, it was suggested that developing educational manuals that provide information on the differences between elderly in the general population and elderly using long-term care institutions, and correct knowledge of the elderly, should increase the positive coping behavior of nursing care workers in the presence of aggressive elderly.
