Consequently, nurses are foremost a caregiver that will oversee the older populations when they come to the hospital.

This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude towards older adults among nursing students. This study has not been studied in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, hence a cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 UNIMAS undergraduate nursing students who enrolled on a Bachelor of Nursing with Honours. Knowledge and attitudes towards older people were assessed using Palmore's Fact on Aging Quiz, and Kogan's Attitudes towards Old People Scale, respectively. Results of the study showed 69.2% and 54.1% of the participants had a high knowledge and positive attitude towards older people respectively. Meanwhile, there was a significant association between the socio-demographic variables, particularly the year of study and attitude.
