Abstract Objective To investigate the attitude and knowledge score of the elderly in different majors. Methods A total of 265 students were surveyed by self-designed questionnaire that consists of three parts: general information, Kogan’s attitude toward older people (KAOP) scale, and knowledge questionnaire. Results There were significant differences between the attitudes of the elderly and the aging knowledge scores for students who have taken care of the elderly and who have been cared for by their grandparents (P = 0.04; P = 0.02). Students who had experience in caring for the elderly scored higher. Students who were taken care of by their grandparents during the childhood were more active in the elderly. The scores of attitudes appreciation and attitude scores of elderly were statistically significant between nursing students and non-nursing students (P = 0.01; P = 0.03), and the non-nursing students’ attitude appreciation and attitude scores were higher than those of nursing students. Conclusions The nursing students have a more positive attitude to the elderly, but the level of aging knowledge is lower and lower than that of non-nursing students, which should be further improved.

Nurses are on the front line of the healthcare system and should, therefore, have the evidence-based knowledge to manage breastfeeding. The objective of this study was to assess the attitudes and knowledge about human lactation among a group of nursing students. An anonymous online survey was sent to all College of Nursing students at a local university in Kentucky. Nursing students participating in the survey favored breastfeeding over formula feeding for infants. Lack of knowledge and various misconceptions about breastfeeding were reported. Whether a nursing student has or has not completed a class about human lactation during the nursing program, and has had or not had children, significantly influences their attitudes and knowledge toward breastfeeding. Future studies should focus on identifying if nursing faculty members and nursing students recognize human lactation as a value and central knowledge for nurses.
