The role of emotional intelligence in attitudes towards elderly patients - Comparative study of medical students from rural and urban areas.

CONCLUSIONS: Medical students from rural areas are characterized by a more positive attitude towards elderly patients than medical students from urban areas. The predictors of attitudes towards elderly patients are the cognitive factor of emotional intelligence and the place of residence of medical students. The results give the opportunity to design a well-developed programme of a geriatric course which could be matched to the personal predispositions of students. PMID: 32208592 [PubMed - in process]
