Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.7K
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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

199
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

172
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

201
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Education

Background:

  • Negative perceptions of aging impact healthcare.
  • Nursing education must address these perceptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess nursing students' perceptions of older adults.
  • Identify factors influencing these perceptions during education.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey of pre-licensure nursing students.
  • Utilized Burbank's Perceptions Towards Older People scale.
  • Data collected from students in western Canada.

Main Results:

  • Third-year nursing students showed lower perceptions of older adults.
  • Perceptions declined after four clinical experiences.
  • Early long-term care experiences may negatively influence views.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing curricula need to balance diverse clinical experiences.
  • Enhance student preparedness for complex geriatric care.
  • Further research is needed on effective educational strategies.
