This study investigated the factor structure of an instrument to measure attitudes and preparedness of social work students to work with memory-impaired elders. Exploratory statistical procedures to reduce data through principle component analysis identified three factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.0 and a cumulative variance of 65.520%. These factors include general belief in the efficacy of psychotherapeutic services for elders with memory impairment; self-perceived adequacy to provide services to elders with memory impairment; and belief in the efficacy of other ancillary services to elders with memory impairment. Recommendations are made for utilizing this brief self-report instrument in training and assessing students and other practitioners for their attitudes toward and greater preparedness to work with memory- impaired elders.
