Abstract

A survey of 116 sixth-grade students found that 39% had supported older adults in the past year. Those with prior experience showed significantly higher attitudes and helping intentions toward people with dementia. Encouraging practical helping experiences may foster awareness and willingness to assist older adults in the community.
