    Neophyte student nurses show negative attitudes towards working with the elderly, driven by stereotypes. This impacts future healthcare workforce planning amid demographic shifts.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Geriatric Care
    • Healthcare Workforce Studies

    Background:

    • Increasing elderly populations necessitate a robust geriatric care workforce.
    • Student nurses' career choices significantly shape future healthcare staffing.
    • Understanding attitudes towards aged care is crucial for recruitment and retention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate neophyte student nurses' attitudes towards working with the elderly.
    • To compare these attitudes with other nursing career options.
    • To explore the underlying reasons for student nurses' attitudes toward geriatric care.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was administered to 610 student nurses.
    • Participants were recruited from five nursing teaching institutions in New South Wales (NSW).

  • Data analysis explored correlations between attitudes and career preferences.

    • Main Results:

    • Student nurses rated working with the elderly very poorly compared to other specialties.
    • Negative attitudes were strongly linked to unfavorable stereotypes about the elderly and their care.
    • A significant portion of respondents expressed reluctance towards geriatric nursing.

    Conclusions:

    • Neophyte nurses hold predominantly negative attitudes towards geriatric care, influenced by stereotypes.
    • These findings highlight a potential crisis in the future aged care nursing workforce.
    • Addressing negative stereotypes is essential to attract nurses to this critical field.
