Abstract

Aims: A longer life and the growing population of older adults are the achievements of the 20th century. The World Health Organization considers ageism an important barrier to age-appropriate care for older adults. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the ageism scale for dental students in Iran (ASDS-Persian). Methods: The 27-question ASDS was translated from English into Persian (Farsi) and completed by 275 dental students from two universities in Isfahan, Iran. Principal component analysis (PCA), internal consistency reliability, and discriminant validity were estimated. Furthermore, in this study we conducted an analytical cross sectional study among dental students of Isfahan province (two universities) with the aim of proving data regarding their ageism beliefs and attitudes. Results: PCA revealed an 18-question, four-component scale with acceptable validity and reliability. The four components are ‘barriers/concerns on dental treatment in older adults’, ‘opinions about older adults’, ‘practitioner's perspective,’ and ‘older adults’ perspective’. Conclusion: This preliminary validation of ASDS-Persian produced a new 18-question scale with four components with acceptable validity and reliability. This instrument could be further tested in larger samples in Farsi speaking countries. © 2023 The Authors.
