Abstract

Aim

This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of scenario-based aging simulation experience (SBASE) on students’ empathy, attitudes toward and willingness to work with older adults.

Background

Innovative teaching strategies such as SBASE have the potential to provide students with the essential skills required for working with older adults.

Design

This study has a randomized controlled trial.

Methods

This study was conducted in west of Turkiye with 120 health sciences senior year students (45 nursing students, 54 medicine students and 21 physical therapy and rehabilitation students) in 2022–2023. The students were randomly assigned to intervention or control group (IG-CG). The IG received SBASE. Pre- and post-tests (after intervention, 1 and 3 months later) were conducted. Data were collected using the descriptive characteristics form, Kogan's attitudes toward old people scale, basic empathy scale and willingness to work with elderly people scale.

Results

The IG participants recorded statistically better scores regarding positive attitudes towards older adults, in terms of the group x time interaction (t: 2.521, p: 0.036). However, there was no significant difference in the variables investigated between the groups.

Conclusions

SBASE appeared to be effective in improving health sciences students’ positive attitudes towards older adults. Health care providers should have a more positive attitude toward older adults to improve levels of care.

基于情景的老年模拟体验对健康科学高年级学生的同理心、对老年人的态度以及与老年人共事的意愿的影响：随机对照试验

目的：本研究旨在调查基于情景的老年模拟体验（SBASE）对学生的同理心、对老年人的态度以及与老年人共事的意愿的影响：背景：SBASE 等创新教学策略有可能为学生提供与老年人打交道所需的基本技能：本研究采用随机对照试验：本研究于 2022-2023 年在土耳其西部进行，共有 120 名健康科学专业的高年级学生参加（45 名护理专业学生、54 名医学专业学生和 21 名物理治疗与康复专业学生）。这些学生被随机分配到干预组或对照组（IG-CG）。干预组接受 SBASE。进行了前测和后测（干预后、1 个月后和 3 个月后）。数据收集采用了描述性特征表、科根对老年人的态度量表、基本移情量表和与老年人共事的意愿量表：从组别 x 时间的交互作用（t：2.521，p：0.036）来看，IG 参与者对老年人的积极态度得分在统计学上更高。结论：SBASE 似乎能有效改善对老年人的态度：SBASE似乎能有效改善健康科学专业学生对老年人的积极态度。医疗服务提供者应该对老年人持更积极的态度，以提高护理水平：本文相关数据和补充材料可向通讯作者索取。
