Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of faculty members working in health sciences toward ageism in a university and to determine their relationship with some sociodemographic characteristics, occupational characteristics, and elderly experience characteristics that affect these attitudes. Methods: This descriptive study was carried out in faculties and colleges in a university. The research population is 135 people. The research working group consisted of 100 teaching staff. A questionnaire form and the Elderly Discrimination Attitude Scale were used to collect data. The data were made with SPSS 20.0 package program and normality analyzes were made with Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov values, and were evaluated with t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Witney U tests in independent groups. Results: The mean scale score of the teaching staff was 70, 21±11,95. Positive discrimination subscale score was 32,54±4,691,negative discrimination subscale score was 16,52±4,079, and life limitation subscale score was 21,15±8,324.It was found that the attitudes of the lecturers toward the elderly varied according to gender, having a child, the faculty in which they work, and still living with the elderly (P < .050). Conclusion: The results of the study showed that male gender, having a child, working in the faculty of health sciences, and living with elderly individuals positively affect elderly discrimination. The attitude of the teaching staff who provide education to the health personnel serving the elderly in our society toward the elderly is important for the attitude of the students.
