Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:27

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Aging01:26

Aging

Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...
Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II01:18

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Summary

The Longitudinal Elderly Person Shadowing (LEPS) program improved students' perceptions of older adults, with sustained positive changes one year later. However, interprofessional attitudes showed minimal improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Medical Education
  • Interprofessional Education

Background:

  • Interprofessional senior mentors programs (SMPs) lack data on long-term attitudinal shifts toward older adults.
  • Assessing sustainability of changes in interprofessional attitudes within SMPs is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the sustainability of attitudinal changes toward older adults among students in the Longitudinal Elderly Person Shadowing (LEPS) program.
  • To assess changes in interprofessional attitudes following participation in the LEPS program.

Main Methods:

  • The Longitudinal Elderly Person Shadowing (LEPS) program involved interprofessional teams of undergraduate students.
  • Students partnered with community-dwelling older adults.
  • Attitudinal changes were measured using Polizzi's Aging Semantic Differential and the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale.

Main Results:

  • Student perceptions of older men and women significantly improved post-program.
  • These positive attitudinal changes toward older adults were sustained one year after program completion.
  • Few significant changes were observed in students' interprofessional attitudes.

Conclusions:

  • The LEPS program effectively fosters sustained positive attitudes toward older adults in health professional students.
  • Further development is needed to enhance interprofessional attitudes within similar mentorship programs.
