Resumo: <p><b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To identify nursing students' attitudes toward older people.<br> <b>METHOD:</b> Second-year undergraduate nursing students were invited to complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the geriatric nursing curricular unit. A quantitative study was conducted by administering the validated Portuguese version of Kogan's attitudes toward old people scale (KOAP).<br> <b>RESULTS:</b> The sample included 39 students who answered the data collection instrument. The mean KOAP score was 135.56, which was slightly above the median value (119). No statistically significant relationships were found between any of the variables: gender, age, experience with older people, and living with older people.<br> <b>CONCLUSIONS:</b> The nursing students' mean score for attitude toward older people was slightly positive, which could serve as a starting point for the development of an intervention to modify their attitudes with respect to aging.</p>
