Validation of the Polish Version of Ageism Scale for Dental Students Enhances Understanding of Attitudes Towards Older Patients

Posted: January 4, 2025
The Polish version of the Ageism Scale for Dental Students (ASDS-PL) was validated through a study at Jagiellonian University. The scale consists of 10 items distributed into three factors related to preconceived notions about dental treatment, cost-benefit of providing care for older patients, and dentist-older patient interaction. The validation process confirmed the scale's reliability and validity, with significant differences found based on the students' year of study, gender, and experience with older patients. This study highlights the importance of addressing ageism in dental education and practice.
