The relationship of age to nurses' attitudes toward abortion.
An attitude questionnaire was distributed to 200 nurses to study the relationship of age to nurses' attitudes toward abortion. Of 139 responses, 128 were usable. The data showed that for this sample a combination of age and religion had the greatest influence on attitudes. With the exception of Catholic nurses, nurses 30 years of age and over were found to have attitudes at least as approving as those of nurses under 30.
