“…He described ageing with changes, which can be perceived as gain and as loss. In addition, he mentions a possible influence of the negative experiences of students occurring in the health care sector in the context of their education on their attitudes towards seniors [ 42 ]. If the attitude of the medical students summarized by Berner is compared with the results of this study, this negative development of the attitude towards seniors cannot be confirmed.…”

Society is ageing and the higher number of senior citizens in the total population is a challenge for society and often perceived as a burden. Negative images of old age can lead to ageism and poorer healthcare for older people. The younger generation will have to master these demographic challenges. Therefore, their attitude towards and their perception of the older generation has to be monitored. The aim of this study is to present the images of ageing held by dental students who received education in gerodontology and to assess possible changes between different generations of students over time and separated by gender. An annual, anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among dental students at the end of the 10th semester each year between 2008 and 2021. The questionnaire surveyed personal attitudes towards ageing, the assessment of seniors, and personal experience with seniors (images of ageing, “Aging Semantic Differential”). In addition to confirming Friedan’s phenomenon regarding the assessment of age limits, the present study was able to demonstrate a positive image of ageing in dental students, which has remained almost constant over the years. An education in gerodontology might positively influence student perceptions of age and aging.

“…Increasing life expectancy and a higher level of prosperity have resulted in a social change of old age as a stage of life. This led to the concept of the so-called 'new elderly' , who still have many years to live after reaching the seventh decade and whose health and socioeconomic situation allows them to organise these years according to their own interests and to realise some individual ambitions [6]. As ageing perceptions have changed, health-related behaviours (e.g., physical activity or use of preventive services) have also changed, but this again depends on the education level and in some cases, on sex [7].…”

Background This study is conducted by a subproject of the DFG research group "Medicine, Time and the Good Life" FOR 5022 (FOR TiMed_Life) and investigates the care preferences of individuals of advanced age and the care priorities of medical and nursing professionals in times of increasing medical options and more complex decision-making processes, especially for elderly patients. We assume that the preference for or rejection of medical treatment is shaped by individual and social age patterns and by the awareness of the finiteness of life. Just like older people themselves, professionals are also influenced by societal images of age(ing) and associated notions of age-appropriate health. These concepts are subject to constant change, which means that what was considered to be a 'normal' symptom of older age 100 years ago is now treated medically as a disease. The aim of the study is to identify the underlying perceptions of ageing and their influence on medical decisions. Methods By means of semi-structured focus group discussions and supplementary individual interviews with older people and medical and nursing professionals, the subproject investigates the perception of ageing processes and the resulting care preferences and priorities of these three groups. The evaluation of the interview material is carried out in two stages: First, the recorded group discussions are pre-structured using knowledge mapping. Based on the mapping results, the interview passages are selected, transcribed, and analysed in detail based on qualitative content analysis. Discussion Because the nature of the research question is exploratory, qualitative methods provide a suitable approach. The mapping technique provides early initial results that are used by the other subprojects. Within the research group, the results of the interviews provide an empirical basis for ethical discourses on the influence of medicine on ideas of a good life, and in particular, on successful ageing.

The family is an important resource in elderly care. It is of great interest if persons who might be in need of care in the future would use this resource. Our study assessed wishes and expectations regarding family care in a representative sample of the general population (≥ 45 years, N = 1,445) using questionnaires. Logistic regressions were performed to analyze the potential impact on the willingness to use or provide family care. One quarter of the participants reported experience in family care. In case of own need 62.9% of participants would prefer care provided by relatives and 56.7% would prefer professional care. Participants are more likely to use family care if they report having relatives, are experienced in care of relatives or do not associate old age with being a burden, e.g. report low values in the image of age "being a burden/demanding". Perceived willingness of the relatives to provide care is more likely if there is little regional distance to the relatives, in male participants and if participants talked about future care with their relatives. Besides structural factors, negative images of old age might have a negative influence on the willingness to use family care. Talking about care in old age seems to have a positive impact.
