ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the presence of negative stereotypes of old age in new medical intern residents (MIR) of the Community of Madrid. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A descriptive cross-sectional survey study of first year MIRs was carried out anonymously during the process of registration at the Madrid College of Physicians between 25/03 and 26/05 of 2023. The Questionnaire of Negative Stereotypes towards Old Age (CENVE) and the Let's Fight All Together Against Ageism (LTJCE) survey were used.RESULTS:
A total of 829 new MIRs were included, with a mean age of 26.0 (standard deviation [SD]=3.5) years. According to the LTJCE survey, 29.1% consider that in general older people are similar to each other; 47.5%, that deterioration of health in old age is inevitable, 26.8% that old age begins at 60 years; 30.5%, that age per se is a determinant when making clinical decisions and 31.0%, that aging is an obstacle that we must overcome in order to lead a healthy life. The mean total score of the CENVE scale (range 15-60) was 28.3 (SD=7.0) and the means of the different factors (range 5-20) were 8.6 (SD=2.8) for health; 9.8 (SD=2.6) for motivational-social; 10.0 (SD=2.7) for character-personality.CONCLUSIONS:
Most new MIRs do not present old age-related stereotypes.Palavras-chave
