Abstract
Anthropologists and sociologists consider population aging to be the most important phenomenon of the present age [2]. According to the World Health Organization, by 2025 the population of the elderly will reach more than 800 million [5]. Also, according to another report from this organization, a high percentage of the need to use health services compared to the total population is related to the elderly. The need for comprehensive attention to the elderly is due to the fact that these people have many health problems and are the main consumers of health services [3].
The significant increase in the elderly population has posed many challenges to health policymakers. [4]
One of the most important challenges is maintaining the quality of health care for the elderly. There are various factors involved in providing quality services to the elderly, but one of these factors is the attitude of health care providers to the elderly and the phenomenon of aging [7].
Therefore, the main purpose and necessity of this study is to investigate the attitudes of students of Ilam University of Medical Sciences and their willingness to work with the elderly because their field of work in the future may be directly related to the provision of services and health care to the elderly.
