Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify influencing factors of attitude toward the elderly in nursing students. Methods : Participants were 284 nursing students from one college and two department of nursing in B metropolitan. Data was collected by structured questionnaire on subjects’ characteristics, knowledge and attitude toward the elderly. Data were analyzed using descriptive, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Results : First, The average score of the participants knowledge was 0.45±0.10 out of 1 and attitude was 4.10±0.55 out of 7. Second, As result of analyzing general aspects of the knowledge, statistically significant differences were not found. As result of analyzing general aspects of the attitudes, statistically significant differences were found in gender(t=-2.543, p<.05), grade(t=-8.080, p<.001), grandparents survival(t=-2.925, p<.01), living with the elderly past(t=-3.217, p<.01), whether to have a elderly friend(t=-3.832, p<.001), experience of voluntary service related with the elderly(t=-5.667, p<.001), intention to do gerontoloical nursing(F=44.828, p<.001), interest in the elderly(F=30.276, p<.001). Third, As result of analysis of correlation between the knowledge and attitude were statistically significant relationships(r=.191, p<.01). Forth, Factors significantly affecting attitude toward the elderly were intention to do gerontological nursing(β=.256, p<.001), grade(β=.280, p<.001), interest in the elderly(β=.156, p<.01), gender(β=.127, p<.01), knowledge toward the elderly(β=.103, p<.05), living with the elderly(past)(β =.110, p<.05), whether to have a elderly friend(β=.103, p<.05). Explanatory power of the model was 38.7%. Conclusions : It is necessary to develop a program for continuous teaching and education that will help increase nursing student’s knowledge and thereby positively change attitude toward the elderly.
