This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of a homemade geriatric suit to simulate an older adult and improve empathy among physical therapy students. The Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Health Professions student version was utilized to measure empathy-related parameters before and after the geriatric simulation experience. Physical and cognitive performance tests were used to assess the effectiveness of the geriatric suit to simulate typical age-related changes in physical and cognitive performance. Additionally, sociodemographic data were collected such as age, gender and prior experience working with older adults. Following the geriatric simulation suit experience, participants did not demonstrate statistically significant post-intervention empathy scores on the Jefferson Empathy Scale (t = 2.09, p = 0.022). However, patients did demonstrate similar physical scores when compared with older adult norms while wearing the geriatric simulation suit. The geriatric simulation suit experience effectively simulated the aging process, but did not significantly increase empathy in students. The homemade geriatric simulation suit may be a feasible and cost-effective way to simulate typical age-related physical changes in older adults.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144217240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty percent of studies reported the development and validation of a new instrument. No instruments were based on updated medical student competencies aligned with the Geriatrics 5 Ms.Conclusion: Despite the availability of validated instruments, they do not appear to be commonly used to reflect learning outcomes in the published Geriatrics medical education literature.

Dynamic evidence-based medicine sessions employ interactive instructional methods and integrate necessary residency skills.

This study examines the effects of using a threshold concept approach to teach ageism and compares undergraduate students' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors across different classes. Four entry-level gerontology courses participated; two used the threshold concept framework, while the other two employed a traditional one-time module. In-class survey data were collected from all four courses; word clouds and qualitative reflections were collected from intervention courses before and after the intervention. SPSS was used for descriptive analysis, and content analysis for qualitative data. Results indicated a shift in the intervention groups' understanding of ageism. Initially, students associated aging with negative stereotypes and physical decline, but they later developed a more nuanced view of aging, recognizing ageism's broader societal implications after the intervention. Word clouds revealed a shift from negative to more diverse descriptors of aging. The findings suggest that integrating threshold concepts into curriculum fosters irreversible changes in attitudes and perspectives toward aging, encouraging a more positive and inclusive view. Future research should explore the long-term effects of this approach and its application across other gerontological contexts.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144200416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was the next step in implementing the one-pager and disseminating the importance of dementia literacy in collaboration between researchers, university students, and Vietnamese healthcare professionals. We trained bilingual Vietnamese pre-health students and offered free cognitive tests in Vietnamese at various health fairs to introduce the notion of cognitive health. Twenty-eight students assessed older Vietnamese cognition (N = 247) using the Vietnamese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The results showed an average of 22.4, indicating mild cognitive impairment. However, the community overwhelmingly responded positively to the assessment because memory issues were their major concern. The intergenerational exchange - older Vietnamese had their memory checked while the younger generation of students experienced real-world clinical assessments - facilitated their interaction, and benefited both parties. Improving the community's awareness and knowledge takes time and requires long-term commitment.
