| Opplysninger | The effect of a short psychogeriatrics training course for primary health care physicians, nurses and social workers on their attitudes towards care of the elderly was explored using the Snape Attitude Scale before and after the training. Participants' attitudes were not altered significantly. The most positive attitudes were found in a reference group formed by nurses specializing in psychiatry. The groups regarded physicians as having the least interest in geriatric care while social workers were felt to have the greatest willingness to care for the elderly.
