Summary
This interprofessional faculty development program significantly improved confidence in geriatric care competencies among healthcare professionals. Participants showed notable gains in evaluation, care planning, and understanding healthcare systems.
Area of Science:
- Geriatric Medicine
- Medical Education
- Interprofessional Healthcare
Background:
- Faculty development programs are crucial for enhancing healthcare professional education.
- Geriatric care requires specialized interprofessional competencies.
- Existing training may not adequately address all geriatric competencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the outcomes of a 10-month interprofessional faculty development program in geriatrics.
- To measure changes in self-efficacy related to geriatric care competencies among faculty participants.
Main Methods:
- A 160-hour interprofessional faculty development program was implemented over 10 months.
- The program focused on six domains and 23 collaborative competencies in older adult care.
- Self-efficacy was assessed using a validated instrument before and after the training program.
Main Results:
- Statistically significant increases in self-efficacy were observed across all 23 geriatric competencies.
- Participants reported higher self-efficacy levels post-training compared to pre-training.
- The most substantial gains were in "evaluation and assessment," "care planning and coordination," and "healthcare systems and benefits."
Conclusions:
- The interprofessional faculty development program effectively enhanced faculty confidence in geriatric competencies.
- Targeted training can successfully improve self-efficacy in areas of previous educational gaps.
- This program model demonstrates a viable approach to building geriatric expertise across professions.

01:29Self-Efficacy
317
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...

01:24Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback
208
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

515
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...

01:27Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
310
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
2.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.6K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
