本研究评估了老年学和老年病学课程对以色列医学、护理和社会工作专业学生的知识、态度和工作偏好变化的短期和长期影响。结果表明，护理和社会工作专业的学生增加了Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz所测量的知识。在医学生的知识水平和任何研究组的态度和工作偏好方面没有发现明显的变化。在三组中，知识、态度和工作偏好之间没有发现相关性，这意味着增加对老年人的知识并不一定会导致消极态度和工作偏好的改变。与小组讨论和与老年人接触相比，正式讲座似乎是一种更有效的传播知识的方式。
This study evaluated short- and long-term effects of courses in gerontology and geriatrics on changes in knowledge, attitudes, and work preferences among medical, nursing, and social work students in Israel. The results showed that nursing and social work students increased their knowledge measured by Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz. No significant changes were found in the level of knowledge of medical students and in the attitudes and work preferences of any of the studied groups. No correlation was found among knowledge, attitudes, and work preferences within each of the three groups, which implies that increased knowledge about the elderly does not necessarily lead to changes in negative attitudes and work preferences. Formal lectures appear to be a more effective way of transmitting knowledge than group discussions and contact with older persons.
