Dental Hygiene Students' Attitudes toward the Elderly and Older Patients.
Rakowski, William; And Others
Journal of Dental Education, v46 n5 p274-78 May 1982
Graduating dental hygiene students' general attitudes toward the elderly and their perceptions of older adults as patients were found not to be equivalent. Mixed perceptions were found among the students, and no predictors of attitudes predominated. Educational interventions to change unfavorable attitudes appear feasible. (Author/MSE)
