Summary

Older adults are a growing patient group, yet ageism persists in nursing education, impacting care quality. Curricula must evolve to equip nurses with skills for geriatric care, addressing ageism in training.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professionalism

Background:

  • Global demographic shifts highlight the increasing number of older adults as patients.
  • Ageism among healthcare professionals is a recognized issue affecting the quality of care for the elderly.
  • Current nursing curricula may not adequately prepare students for the complexities of geriatric care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine factors influencing gerontological content within nursing curricula.
  • To identify the presence and impact of ageism in nurse education.
  • To propose strategies for improving geriatric care education.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and analysis of existing nursing curricula.
  • Discussion of factors affecting the inclusion of gerontological content.
