  • To assess the impact of clinical experiences on student nurses' attitudes toward older adults.

Main Methods:

  • An experimental study design was employed with a convenience sample of approximately 100 ADN students.

  • Data collection occurred during scheduled class times before and after relevant content delivery.

    • Main Results:

    • Analysis of pre- and post-clinical questionnaire data indicated a measurable shift in student nurses' attitudes.
    • The clinical experiences appeared to foster more positive perceptions regarding the care of the elderly among participants.
    • King's Theory of Goal Attainment provided a framework for understanding the interactional dynamics influencing these changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical experiences are vital for shaping positive attitudes in student nurses towards geriatric care.
    • Nursing education should integrate practical experiences to enhance students' perceptions of elderly care.
    • Further research can explore specific components of clinical practice that most effectively influence these attitudes.
