Exploring ageism in nursing students without grandparental co-residence: A photovoice study.
Article in Journal of Korean gerontological nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to explore the perceptions of older adults and the factors influencing ageism among nursing students without co-residential experience with grandparents.
methodsA qualitative approach using the photovoice method was employed. Participants were recruited through online communities of two universities. The final sample consisted of nine nursing students from these universities. Data were collected across five sessions, including orientation, three group discussions with photovoice activities, and individual interviews. Participants captured photographs reflecting their perceptions of older adults, provided descriptions, and engaged in group discussions that were guided in part by the principles of the SHOWeD technique. Data were analyzed using photovoice procedures and thematic analysis, following a process of selecting, contextualizing, and categorizing data to generate themes and subthemes.
resultsAnalysis of 72 photographs and associated narratives yielded three main themes: (1) "Confusion and rigidity revealed within a changing society," (2) "A sense of distance formed through experiences of norm-breaking and social isolation," (3) "Ambivalent perceptions shaped by everyday, welfare, and cultural experiences." Participants demonstrated complex perceptions of older adults, reflecting both negative stereotypes and recognition of their engagement in cultural activities.
conclusionNursing students' perceptions of older adults reflected ambivalent attitudes, with negative stereotypes coexisting with positive views. These findings suggest that limited intergenerational contact and media representations of older adults may be associated with ageist perceptions, highlighting the potential value of educational and intergenerational approaches to addressing ageism.
