Özet

Introduction: The number of elderly people as a proportion of the total population is rapidly increasing, and they have the greatest need for healthcare services, including pharmaceutical care. Therefore, development of positive attitudes and behaviour regarding elderly people and ageing is particularly important for pharmacists. This cross-sectional study evaluated the attitudes of second-year pharmacy students at two Turkish universities on elderly.
