Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Nursing
  • Palliative Care
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • The U.S. is experiencing a significant increase in its older adult population, with numbers projected to double by 2030.
  • This demographic shift necessitates specialized, evidence-based nursing care tailored to the unique needs and preferences of geriatric patients.
  • Existing nursing education may not fully address the complex functional, emotional, and social aspects of aging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and design of the RN Residency: Transitioning to Geriatrics and Palliative Care program at Massachusetts General Hospital.
  • To expand the traditional disease-focused model of geriatrics to a holistic perspective encompassing functional, emotional, and social well-being.
  • To integrate palliative care principles as a core component of geriatric nursing.

Main Methods:

  • The program was developed utilizing two established national curricula as foundational guides.
  • The curriculum was designed to broaden the scope of geriatric nursing beyond disease pathology.
  • Emphasis was placed on incorporating palliative care strategies throughout the training.

Main Results:

  • The RN Residency program aims to enhance the effectiveness of nursing assessments for older adults.
  • The program seeks to improve the implementation and outcomes of nursing interventions in geriatric care.
  • The training is expected to positively impact both older adult patients and their families.

Conclusions:

  • The RN Residency program provides a structured approach to preparing nurses for specialized geriatric and palliative care.
  • This initiative addresses the growing need for skilled nursing professionals to care for the aging U.S. population.
  • The program's focus on a holistic and palliative approach is crucial for optimizing care for older adults.
