The main hypothesis:
Read more
The investigators hypothesize that an Arabic educational video intervention based on the PEACE model will significantly reduce ageism and anxiety and increase positive attitudes and knowledge about older adults, and the effectiveness will last over time among physical therapists.
Participants will:
- Complete an initial online survey assessing demographic and professional information, as well as measures of ageism, aging knowledge, anxiety about interactions with older adults, and positive and negative age stereotypes (Time-1).
- Watch a 7-minute Arabic video that includes (1) an animated segment addressing ageism and debunking stereotypes and (2) a live-action segment featuring older adults sharing personal stories to promote intergenerational contact (Time-2).
- Complete an attention check followed by the same outcome measures as in Time-1.
- Complete the same set of outcome measures one week later (Time-3) to assess any changes.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ageism Measure
Ageism was measured using the Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA), which was originally developed by Fraboni and revised by Rupp, Vodanovich, and Credé. FSA constitutes a reliable, valid, and multidimensional measure of ageism. Participants will rate 22 items concerning their attitudes toward older adults, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree) scale.
Measured: Baseline in week 1 and after intervention in week 2.
Aging Knowledge
Aging knowledge was assessed using the Facts on Aging quiz (FAQ) developed by Palmore's . FAQ is used to measure the basic facts and frequent misconceptions about aging. This measure is valid and has group reliability. In addition, FAQ is currently considered the gold standard. The FAQ is a self-report scale containing 25 questions with a "true" or" false" response and takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
Measured: Baseline in week 1 and after intervention in week 2.
Anxiety about interacting with older adult
Hutchison was developed and tested of the interaction anxiety about older adult measure. This measure assessed participants' feelings of discomfort or anxiety when interacting with older adults. The scale contains 3 items, and the participants will be rating each items concerning their anxiety from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree).
Measured: Baseline in week 1 and after intervention in week 2.
