Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate nursing students’ attitudes toward the elderly and to explore the effects of senior simulation on nursing students’ attitudes.
Method: For the purpose of the study, the program was performed on 223 nursing students in Gyung-gi. An Aging Semantic Differential Scale was utilized to evaluate attitudes toward the elderly. The senior simulation equipment consisted of a special spacesuit, glasses, gloves, and sand bag. Before and after the experiment subjects filled out questionnaires.
Results: The attitude score before the experiment was 4.13, which indicates a neutral attitude, Nursing students’ attitudes toward the elderly related significantly to religion, living with grandparents, volunteer work for the elderly, and acquired knowledge. The Senior simulation enabled nursing students’ attitudes to turn positive toward the elderly.
