Data collection instrument was an investigator- made questionnaire that its validity and reliability was established. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 11.5.Results: Findings showed that the mean (±SD) duration of working experience of the participants' wasl1.19 (±5.58). Also, 70.2% reported having no previous experience of living with older people. The participants acquired 54% and 88.72% of the score of the KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE, respectively. In overall, nurses had positive ATTITUDE toward older people. There wasn't found statistically significant relationship between KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE scores. Conclusion: The findings of this study support the findings of the previous studies showing that there is KNOWLEDGE deficit among staff nurses regarding AGING process and normal changes of AGING.
