“…However, healthcare professionals are reported to have persistently negative attitudes toward older people regardless of specialities (Kearney, Miller, Paul, & Smith, 2000). This potentially adversely affects the quality of care provided (Lee, Reuben, & Ferrell, 2005), particularly in terms of staff behavior, interactions, available treatments and healthcare services (Hatton, 1977;Knowles & Sarver, 1985), reflecting subtle processes within various organization and systems (Pedersen et al, 2008). Furthermore, negative attitudes were associated with lower willingness to consider a career in geriatrics (Chua, Tan, Merchant, & Soiza, 2008;Hughes et al, 2008;Pan, Edwards, & Chang, 2009), which is a cause of concern regarding the future availability of health professionals to meet the needs of the increasing healthcare system (Cha, & Seo, 2009).…”

“…Studies have consistently shown that nurses and nursing students rank caring for the elderly as their least preferred choice. More specifically, Knowles and Sarver (1985) reported that younger patients were most preferred by nursing students, whereas older patients were least preferred. In similar studies (Gunter, 1971;Kayser & Minnigerode, 1975;Robb, 1979), students expressed an unwillingness or reluctance to work with the elderly clients when compared with clients to other age groups.…”

“…Selon la revue de littérature effectuée par Knowles et Sarver (1985), les patients âgés ne constituent pas le groupe avec lequel les professionnels et les étudiants apprécient le plus travailler. Quelques études québécoises ont abordé l'impact de la formation sur les attitudes du personnel oeuvrant auprès de personnes âgées.…”

“…La présence de négativisme ou de stéréotypes liés au vieillissement amplifie le degré de difficultés des tâches à accomplir et des soins à prodiguer aux résidents (Benson, 1982;Burgio et Burgio, 1990;Campbell, 1971;Chaisson, 1980;Leclerc, 1998;Knowles et Sarver, 1985). La prise de conscience d'un manque de connaissance ou de formation (Berger, 1982;Brower, 1985;Hepler, 1987) peut également générer un sentiment d'incompétence qui gêne l'efficience des actions et la perception du travail lui-même (Cohen-Mansfield, 1995).…”
