Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Social Work
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Nursing home social workers are crucial for psychosocial care.
  • Current social work education may not adequately prepare practitioners for geriatric care.
  • There is a recognized need for specialized training in elder care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey nursing home social workers regarding their practice.
  • To assess current education and training in geriatric social work.
  • To identify specific training needs for working with the aged and their families.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from professional social workers in nursing homes.
  • Analysis of practice circumstances, prior education, and current training requirements.
  • Focus on identifying gaps in specialized geriatric knowledge and skills.

Main Results:

  • A significant portion of social workers lack in-depth knowledge and specialized skills for elder care.
  • Formal education often does not cover the complexities of working with the aged and their families.
  • Identified a clear need for targeted educational and training initiatives.

Conclusions:

  • Current social work curricula require enhancement to include specialized geriatric content.
  • Targeted training programs are essential to equip social workers for the demands of nursing home practice.
  • Addressing these training needs will improve the quality of psychosocial care for the elderly.
