In our study, it has been detected that there is a significant difference between the nurses' and nursing students' subscale mean scores and total mean scores about restricting life of elderly, positive discrimination towards the elderly, negative discrimination towards the elderly. It has been detected that; there is a significant correlation between nurses' professional experience time and positive ageism scores, and there is a positive and significant relationship between students' age and positive discrimination scores.
