Abstract
Negative approaches to aging and elderly care may also negatively affect nursing students' attitudes towards the elderly. Therefore, it is important to determine the attitudes of student nurses towards elderly individuals. This study was carried out to find out the attitudes of nursing students taking geriatric nursing course and those not taking the course in two different universities towards old age and aging.
