title: [Attitude of 1st-year nursing students toward the aged].
abstract: In an unstandardized interview 25 nurse pupil were tested with regard to their opinion of ageing people and their expectation to their own ageing process. The results show that the characteristics of psychic ageing are widely known adequate to the results of the psychogerontological research. In detail influences of the deficit model and the disengagement theory are significant. Expectations to the own ageing process are characterized by role patterns being typical for our society. The teaching of internal medicine is accentuated as the suitable place to influence the behavior of these prospective contact persons of geriatric patients.
