We included studies that contained keywords relating to educational interventions that focused on health professionals' knowledge, detection, and management of dementia. Additional papers were obtained through citation searches and by examining the reference lists.Results: Thirty-one articles, the majority from developed countries, were included in this review. Collaborative practice-based workshops, community-based interactive learning activities, and multimodal educational programs were the most effective interventions. Educational interventions are linked to HCPs' confidence levels and are an essential step in understanding dementia characteristics, causes, risks, and paths to health promotion.Conclusions: HCPs can benefit from models that emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge, detection, and management of dementia. The potential to adapt successful models for use in developing countries is a challenge for the future.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145239913","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}

We developed a medical student curriculum on mobility and fall risk assessment that culminates in a formative standardized patient (SP) activity. We present this curriculum focusing on our growth-oriented multisource feedback approach. Following a didactic session, students participate in an SP encounter, a note station, and a self-assessment. Each student is provided with a highly individualized feedback report broken down by five skills evaluated by the SP, a faculty rater and/or the student themselves. Skills include 1) communication/professionalism, 2) physical examination, 3) history taking/reporting, 4) assessment and care planning, and 5) self-assessment. Each skill is graded as \"exceeds,\" \"meets,\" \"partially meets,\" or \"does not meet expectations.\" Detailed formative comments are provided regardless of level of performance. Of the 397 students who completed the curriculum, 157 (39.5%) had at least one skill not fully meeting expectations. Forty-three students (10.9%) had two skills, nine students (2.3%) had three skills, and three students (0.8%) had four skills not fully meeting expectations. While students overall performed at a high level, the detailed formative feedback provided each student with a clear path for growth and improvement.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145207945","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}

Worldwide, an area of focus within communities is their rapid expansion of older adults (OA) and a general increased population age. Within the U.S. it is estimated that a quarter of the population will be 65 or older by 2060. This concern is mirrored in the goals of government and professional organizations. For instance, some goals of Healthy People 2030 are to reduce the risk of diabetes, osteoporosis and fall-related injuries in OA. Increasing physical activity (PA) among OA is a key strategy to prevent chronic disease, sudden fall injuries and improve quality of life. A central learning outcome of health science and exercise science (HES) undergraduate curricula is teaching students how to help individuals combat sedentary lifestyles by increasing their PA. CBL is recognized as a pedagogical method for students to engage with the community and practice hands-on learning. This article describes how a 10-year CBL partnership between HES faculty and a community organization serving OA was developed for an undergraduate HES program and evolved to support curricular and community needs.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145201790","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}

However, what if we were to restructure our classes to consider death and dying first? This paper explores pedagogical and practice-based strategies for integrating death education into gerontology curricula from the outset. Guided by the Compassionate Communities approach to palliative care (Kellehear, 2005), which emphasizes that experiences of death, dying, and bereavement extend beyond professional domains, we argue that gerontology educators are uniquely poised to support public engagement with mortality. Engaging with these topics early in the curriculum encourages reflection on death, finitude, and grief, benefiting both students and instructors. We ask: how can this be done effectively? As educators, we too need to learn how to engage with this topic meaningfully and become comfortable with discomfort. Drawing from our own teaching experiences, we highlight how tools, such as the arts and Death Cafés can provoke critical insights on how grief and death inform the life course. An online appendix of resources is provided to support instructors in teaching students about death and exploring their own relationship to mortality as part of this process.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973822","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}

Eligible studies included RCTs, quasi-experimental studies, observational studies, and systematic reviews. Twenty-eight studies were analyzed, with interventions delivered via lectures, personalized guidance, group discussions, peer education, and online platforms. Durations ranged from single sessions (30-90 min) to multi-week programs (1-12 weeks). While most studies improved fall prevention knowledge and behaviors, few assessed bone mineral density, and no significant changes were observed. Support from professionals, group discussion among participants, and peer educators may play a crucial role in the effectiveness of educational interventions. While many studies have implemented one-time lectures or training sessions, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Future research should focus on standardizing assessment methods, determining the optimal intervention duration, and integrating education with physical exercise and medical treatment to develop sustainable, evidence-based prevention programs.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973806","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 is a concern as the integration of information technologies into society continues to advance, while older adults are among those who can potentially reap the greatest benefits from these technologies. Intergenerational Programs (IGPs), which pair older and younger adults for learning and socializing, are strong vehicles for countering the age usage gap. The researchers conducted an integrative review to synthesize recent research on technology-based IGPs and describe the current state of knowledge about these programs. All studies that met the inclusion criteria (n = 16) were conducted in North America and East Asia, which tend to be early adoption centers for information technology. The studies employed diverse methods and sample sizes, with 50% employing mixed-methods combining quantitative and qualitative data. Thematic analysis revealed four focus areas for technology-based IGPs: education and lifelong learning, social engagement, health technology literacy, and creative arts and crafts. IGPs that integrated face-to-face interactions with technology showed the most favorable outcomes in improving technological skills, social engagement, and confidence. The existing literature has limitations, including a near-absence of follow-up studies to evaluate the sustainability of IGP impacts after the end of a program.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973790","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}

A language adapted version of the Working with Older Adults Scale (WOAS) and the Big-Five Inventory 10-Item version were applied. Basic psychometrics were computed, together with EFA, CFA and multivariate statistics in order to know more about the relevance and relationships between the four WOAS subscales and their association with BFI personality domains. Moderate to strong relationships were found between WOAS subscales, in addition to significant correlations between the perceived behavioral control subscale and some personality traits. Nevertheless, only subjective norm and attitudes subscales contributed significantly to the intention to work with older adults.

This study examines factors contributing to interest in working with older adults and provides suggestions for intervention. Data were collected from 385 undergraduate students via an online survey, which included questions about the quality of relationships with a grandparent and other nonfamilial older adults, as well as previous experience and future interest in pursuing a career in an aging-related field. Path analyses using hierarchical multiple regression reveal that relationships with nonfamilial older adults significantly predict career interest (β = .140, p = .019), whereas relationships with grandparents do not (β = .057, p = .328). Relationships with nonfamilial older adults also significantly predict cognitive frameworks: ageism (β = -.215, p < .001) and positive expectations (β = .144, p = .017). As expected, ageism is associated with reduced interest in an aging-related internship or career (β = -.231, p < .001), while positive expectations regarding aging are related to enhancing such interest (β = .133, p = .025). The findings suggest that policymakers and colleges can increase students' interest in pursuing aging-related careers by creating opportunities to interact and build relationships with older adults in the community.
