    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Healthcare Education
    • Applied Geriatrics

    Background:

    • The Gerontological Manpower Project aimed to improve geriatric care.
    • Existing training programs often lacked a strong research-to-practice link.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the effectiveness of short-term, on-site training in applying gerontological research.
    • To incorporate environmental therapy principles into geriatric care training.
    • To evaluate training effectiveness in diverse institutional settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed and delivered a training program based on environmental therapy and geriatric independence research.
    • Implemented the program in two distinct institutional settings.
    • Included extensive evaluative research within the training process.

    Main Results:

    • Tentative results provided valuable insights for future training program design.
    • The training reinforced the need for research-to-practice initiatives.
    • Participants and staff found the application of research results achievable.

    Conclusions:

    • Short-term, on-site training is an effective method for translating gerontological research into practice.
    • This training model fosters collaboration between academia and service delivery systems.
    • Geriatric patient independence can be enhanced through evidence-based training.
