Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Palliative Care
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Aging population and rising chronic illnesses necessitate enhanced geriatric and palliative care.
  • Existing specialties inadequately address the complex needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Geriatric Education Utilizing a Palliative Care Framework (GEPaC) as an integrated care model.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the GEPaC online educational modules.

Main Methods:

  • Development of interactive online modules with diverse instructional methods (case studies, presentations, reflective questions).
  • Modules designed for online and traditional classroom settings, approved for Continuing Medical Education.
  • Pre- and post-testing to assess changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements observed in participants' knowledge, attitudes, and skills post-module completion.
  • High participant satisfaction reported regarding the coursework's relevance and practical utility.
  • Participants felt better prepared for disease/symptom management, goal communication, and supportive care.

Conclusions:

  • The GEPaC framework offers an effective integrated approach to geriatric and palliative care education.
  • The online modules successfully enhance healthcare providers' competence in managing complex needs of older adults.
  • GEPaC training improves providers' ability to deliver comprehensive, compassionate care to the elderly with chronic illnesses.
