This study describes an interprofessional research project that brought together faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students from several health and social science disciplines to design and deliver a 15-week healthy aging program for older adults living in the urban Circumpolar North. Five faculty and one graduate research assistant led the project while eight students team-taught weekly, 1-hour sessions in the community focusing on healthy lifestyles within a framework of Persuasive Hope Theory. This paper describes the project, the student training procedures, and reports the results of the student satisfaction survey regarding their involvement with the research. Using a student self-assessment survey, students report gains in thinking like a scientist, increased confidence conducting research tasks, benefits from teamwork, and greater consideration of the needs of older adults in their field of study. Despite a small sample size, this study also suggests that students may be more likely to consider a career working with older adults if given hands-on experiences.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"119-134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11615156/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141238455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A search across CINAHL, Google Scholar, Medline, and PubMed identified 10 relevant studies (2013-present) in English. These studies, encompassing 3,207 undergraduate nursing students, utilized diverse methodologies, focusing on undergraduate nursing education and elder abuse. Limited understanding of elder abuse among undergraduate nursing students is evident, primarily due to inadequate curriculum integration. Various teaching methods, including simulations and participative approaches, show promise in addressing this gap. This scoping review emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced elder abuse education in undergraduate nursing programs. The identified knowledge gap underscores the importance of active teaching methods, especially through simulation integration. Further research is essential to establish a robust evidence base in this critical area.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"60-74"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296915","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}

Review of the completed chart review tools revealed gaps in resident documentation of geriatric-specific domains, with assessments of cognition, function, and sensory ability most likely to be missing. Qualitative review of open-ended comments included in the chart review exercise identified documentation of patient goals and values as high clinical priority, while documentation of a cognitive assessment was considered to be of low clinical priority.

Therefore, we developed and delivered an Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education/Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization-sponsored four-hour workshop on policy and advocacy to attendees of the 2024 annual scientific meeting of the Gerontological Society of America. The purpose of the workshop was to enhance participants' confidence and abilities to teach advocacy, to incorporate their research into advocacy efforts, and to advocate within their campuses or organizations. We gathered pre- and post-workshop evaluation data from participants to examine its impact on these outcomes. Here, we provide a description of the content from the workshop and outcomes of the evaluation effort, which indicated that participating in the workshop had a positive impact on participants' knowledge and confidence related to advocacy.

Thus, we need to understand why and in what ways medical students have difficulty engaging with older people and geriatric medicine. Twenty-two medical students studying at the University of Bristol (UK) participated in focus groups, exploring their attitudes toward older people and toward geriatric medicine. Five themes were derived using reflexive thematic analysis. Relationships with older relatives contribute toward students' perceptions of older patients and can enhance their empathy. However, some compartmentalize personal experiences from professional practice to mitigate moral distress. Students are aware of ageism, and in turn encounter challenging views among the older population, which both present significant challenges. It was clear that career decision-making is multi-faceted; inspiring role models, welcoming learning environments, and undergraduate experience were all important. Critically, undergraduate exposure to the full breadth of geriatric medicine and the spectrum of aging was key to changing students' negative pre-conceptions about caring for older people and geriatric medicine. Undergraduate medical education offers a crucial point during medical training where we can intervene to improve the attitudes of and inspire career interest in tomorrow's doctors.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"657-671"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020662","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}

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.
