After completing the VDT, quantitative analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in the pharmacy students' ability to capably complete tasks and relax, and a positive change in their perceptions of the need for improved care for persons living with ADRD. Qualitative analytical approaches identified themes of \"Empathy,\" \"Patient Care and Advocacy,\" \"Education,\" as well as the cognitive, mental, and physical impact of the experience. Valuable lessons learned while providing ADRD empathy training to Doctor of Pharmacy students includes reallocation of faculty resources, curricular development of an innovative empathy-building experience for students, and improved experience delivery efficiency.

A standard for assessing dementia-care-specific competencies is necessary to guide curriculum development and implementation in a competency-based educational framework during academic training. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Dementia Care Competency Model (DCCM) among students enrolled in physical (PT) and occupational therapist (OT) programs. Eighty PT and OT students completed the DCCM by rating the 11 sub-competencies using the National Institute of Health Proficiency Likert Scale. The Exploratory Factor Analysis yielded a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin of 0.878 and Bartlett's test significance value of < 0.001, which indicates that the data were very good for factor analysis. The Eigenvalues and scree plot derived two factors with an excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.936). When examining the grouping of sub-competencies, the two factors that emerged were patient-centered and interprofessional collaborative care. The DCCM version 2.0 can guide educators in designing learning experiences that target the essential competencies in dementia care, ensuring that PT and OT graduates are well-prepared to work with individuals living with dementia. Future research should refine the model by exploring additional sub-competencies within each domain and expanding the model's applicability across multiple healthcare disciplines.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"286-294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142373221","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}

When it comes to caregivers, having a conversation with a person living with some form of cognitive impairment, such as dementia, can be a struggle. Most people living with dementia experience some form of communication impairment that reduces their ability to express their needs. In this case study, we present the design of an embodied conversation agent (ECA), Ted, designed to educate caregivers about the importance of good communication principles when engaging with people living with dementia. This training tool was trialed and compared to an online training tool, with 23 caregivers divided into two cohorts (12 in the ECA condition, and 11 in the online training tool condition), over a period of 8 weeks using a mixed evaluation approach. Our findings suggest that (a) caregivers developed an emotional connection with the ECA and retained the learning from their interactions with Ted even after 8 weeks had elapsed, (b) caregivers implemented the learnings in their practice, and (c) the changes in care practice were well received by people living with dementia.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"186-203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139520875","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}

The article examines the multiple dimensions of learning in adulthood, highlighting the role of neural plasticity and lifelong brain adaptation in shaping learning and experiential strategies. This in-depth evaluation underscores the significance of tailoring andragogical approaches to the needs of adult learners, who, in this context, are care providers for persons with dementia. This is done through proper understanding of the neurobiological realities and the unique learning needs of adults. Such tailored approaches can be aligned with the brain's adaptive nature by recognizing the intricate interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions. Highlighting the need for including lessons on the person-centered approach in dementia care education, the paper argues that adult learners - who are essentially part of the dementia care workforce - first need to learn, appreciate, and embrace the approach before applying it in their caregiving practices. This article presents an overarching argument that integration of Cozolino's principles of adult learning with tenets of person-centered dementia care could provide a robust framework for dementia care education.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"232-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140959883","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}

Recent research has found that more can be done to improve dementia care in hospitals. One of the strategies suggested to help achieve this objective is to provide dementia education programs to hospital staff. Such programs have the potential to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of staff in caring for people with dementia to optimize their in-hospital experiences and clinical outcomes. This paper reports a mixed-methods evaluation of a dementia education program delivered to staff at a hospital in Melbourne, Australia. The quantitative evaluation found significant improvements in participant's knowledge of dementia but did not show significant improvements in \"social comfort,\" a measure of how comfortable respondents are around people with dementia. Qualitative interview data supported the quantitative finding regarding improvements in knowledge about dementia and demonstrated participants were largely satisfied with the content of the education program. However, qualitative data also indicated a problem with engagement with some non-clinical staff. There is a need to improve the quality of care for patients with dementia in hospitals, and this study shows that a dementia education program can be effective in improving staff knowledge about people with dementia.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"268-285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142401594","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, the need to advance age inclusivity across our colleges and universities has become a pressing issue for many reasons which call for extending DEI efforts. An important empirical step in this direction is identifying what students, faculty, and staff perceive about age inclusivity on their campuses. To this end, the present study conducted a qualitative analysis of responses to an open-ended question about age inclusivity by a national sample of 412 students, faculty, and staff. Four key themes emerged from their responses: 1) age inclusivity in higher education is a valuable initiative (40% of responses); 2) age inclusivity only works if enacted appropriately/thoughtfully (12%); 3) age inclusivity should not be a focus in higher education (26%); and 4) age inclusivity is an unfamiliar concept (12%). Other comments reinforced the existence of ageism on campuses. Findings from this study can help to inform why and how age-inclusive efforts can be better integrated into ongoing DEI campus efforts.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701760","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}

The inventory was completed by 10 administrators to determine the presence of age-friendly campus practices and environmental features at the university. The survey was completed by 178 faculty, 608 staff, and 1,167 students to understand their awareness and perceptions of age-friendly practices and features covered by the inventory. We found that the ICCS was transferrable to our national and institutional context with minor modifications. Some challenges were experienced in the administration of the instrument, particularly the survey due to administrative complexities in conducting a survey at a large institution. The results of the assessment indicated that our university is moderately age-friendly, but most survey participants were unaware of its age-friendly elements.
