The study revealed that the oncology nurses generally had positive attitudes to older people. Incorporation of geriatrics related topics into both undergraduate education and in-service training could help to maintain positive attitudes to older people and prevent unfavorable attitudes to them. It can also be recommended that attitudes of health professionals to ageism should be evaluated by older people in further studies.
