AB It is essential to understand the behavior and attitudes of nurses towards older people toimprove clinical practice and quality of care in the gerontological sector. A clearer understandingof the attitudes that drive nurses toward the desire to work with older people would be a goodstarting point to encourage the development of positive and nurturing attitudes. A cross-sectionalstudy with non-probabilistic sampling and a self-administered questionnaire was conducted among381 nursing students of the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Castilla La-Mancha to evaluate thepsychometric properties of the Spanish Version of the Kogan’s Attitudes Towards Older People Scale(KAOP-S). Construct validity, internal consistency, and reliability were assessed. In total, 298 femalesand 83 males completed the questionnaires. Their mean age was 20.42 years. The results revealed aCronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.75 for the scale, which is comparable with other published versionsof the KAOP Scale. The results of the exploratory factor analysis established that the scale has atwo-factor solution and an explained variance of 25% in the sample. The KAOP-S was found to bea reliable and valid tool with good content and construct validity for assessing nursing students’attitudes towards older people.
