Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Longitudinal Research

11.7K
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...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

417
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

697
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Health Services Research
  • Nursing Education and Practice

Background:

  • Age discrimination is a pervasive issue in health and social care, necessitating its inclusion in pre-registration nursing education.
  • Addressing implicit age bias and tacit assumptions in education presents significant pedagogical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the importance of educating student nurses about age and discrimination.
  • To introduce a novel, life course perspective for teaching age discrimination.
  • To explore the implications of this educational approach for nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • The study is based on personal and professional reflections from authors with experience delivering teaching sessions.
  • Data derived from teaching approximately 500 student mental health nurses over several years.
  • Analysis of emerging themes from these educational experiences.

Main Results:

  • Student nurses engaged in critical reflection on age and discrimination, particularly concerning children, young people, and older adults.
  • The life course perspective facilitated exploration of unexamined personal attitudes towards age.
  • Enhanced awareness among student nurses regarding age-related biases.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating age and discrimination education using a life course approach is crucial for nursing curricula.
  • Critical reflection on personal attitudes towards age can mitigate discrimination in healthcare.
  • This educational strategy has the potential to improve health service experiences for all individuals.
