Nurses’ perspectives on old age and caring for adults aged 80 years and older: a cross-sectional study in long-term care
These results suggest that intergenerational contact can positively impact attitudes of nurses towards older care receivers. In order to further facilitate positive attitudes, it is recommended to create positive contact opportunities between nurses and care receivers by, for example, implementing intergenerational educational interventions.
