ÖZET
 Amaç: Araştırma, hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin yaşlılığa yönelik inançları ve empati düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı kesitsel nitelikte yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 10.03.2022-18.03.2022 tarihleri arasında tarihleri arasında bir devlet üniversitesinde hemşirelik bölümünde okuyan öğrencilerle yapıldı. Araştırmanın evrenini; fakültede okuyan tüm hemşirelik öğrencileri, örneklemini ise araştırmaya katılmaya istekli 205 öğrenci oluşturdu. Veriler Soru Formu, Lomaşen Yaşlılık İnanç Ölçeği ve Toronto Empati Ölçeği ile toplandı. Lomaşen yaşlılık inanç ölçeğinden alınabilecek toplam puan 25 ile 125 arasındadır. Puan arttıkça yaşlılığa yönelik olumsuz inançta artmaktadır. Toronto Empati Ölçeğinden ise 13-65 arası puan alınabilmektedir. Alınan puan arttıkça empati düzeyi de artmaktadır. Veriler Student t, tek yönlü varyans analizi, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U ve korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirildi Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %73,7'sinin kadın, %38,4'ünün daha önce yaşlı aile üyeleri ile birlikte yaşadığı, %31,2'sinin huzurevi ziyareti yaptığı, %24,5'inin yaşlılığı bağımlılık, %22,9'unun ise hastalık olarak tanımladığı tespit edildi. Lomaşen Yaşlılık İnanç Ölçeği puan ortalamasının 71,36±6,92, Toronto Empati Ölçeği puan ortalamasının 39,47±5,09 olduğu belirlendi. Lomaşen Yaşlılık İnanç Ölçeği puan ortalaması ile Empati Ölçeği puan ortalaması arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin yaşlılık inancının olumlu düzeyde ve empati düzeylerinin orta olduğu tespit edildi. Ayrıca empati düzeyi arttıkça yaşlılık ile ilgili olumlu düşüncelerinin de arttığı belirlendi. Öğrencilerin büyük bir kısmının yaşlılığı, hastalık ve bağımlılık kavramı ile ilişkilendirdiği tespit edildi.

Data were collected with the Questionnaire, Lomaşen Aging Belief Scale and Toronto Empathy Scale. The total score that can be obtained from the Lamoshen aging belief scale is between 25 and 125. As the score increases, negative beliefs about old age also increase. Scores between 13 and 65 can be obtained from the Toronto Empathy Scale.
