Article Abstract
Introduction: Negative stereotypes among healthcare professionals can lead to discrimination and lower quality care for older adults.
Objectives: This study describes a specific knowledge- and empathy-based educational intervention aimed at reducing negative stereotypes about aging among nursing students.
Methods: A longitudinal study with 159 s-year nursing students included theoretical instruction, video viewing, role-playing with an aged simulation suit, and debriefing. The workshop featured three scenarios: an urban environment, a hospital, and a reflection on nursing practice. The suit simulated ageing-related limitations with weights, glasses, gloves, earplugs, and a cane. Data were collected before, immediately after, and six months later.
Results: Both female and male students showed significant reductions in negative stereotypes, with sustained effects. Improvements in specific stereotype factors varied by sex.
Conclusion: The intervention successfully reduced negative stereotypes about aging, with lasting effects. Further research should explore sex differences in ageist attitude changes following educational interventions.

Background: Social media platforms, such as Facebook, provide a dynamic public space where users of various racial and ethnic backgrounds share content related to identity, politics, and other social issues. These platforms allow racially minoritized groups to both challenge racial silencing and express cultural pride. At the same time, they expose users to racism and stereotypes that can negatively affect their mental and physical health through psychosocial stress.

Anticipation of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination from family members (ie, anticipated family treatment stigma) may be relevant. This study investigated racial/ethnic differences in family stigma and help-seeking attitudes, the association between family stigma and help-seeking attitudes, and whether this association varied by race/ethnicity.
