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.

Area of Science:

Gerontological Nursing
Nursing Education

Background:

A gap exists between gerontological nursing knowledge and positive attitudes toward caring for older adults.
Few nursing students are motivated to pursue careers in geriatric care, partly due to a lack of qualified faculty.
The National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence identified a need for specialized educator training.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop core competencies for nurse educators specializing in gerontological content.
To establish a recognition program for these educators.
To enhance the quality of gerontological nursing instruction for nursing and interprofessional learners.

Main Methods:

An iterative development process was employed.
Expert consensus was used to define seven core competencies.
Descriptions and exemplars for each competency domain were created.

Main Results:

Seven core competencies for gerontological nurse educators were defined.
Criteria for a recognition program were established.
These competencies provide a framework for educator development and evaluation.

Conclusions:

The developed competencies will guide the career growth of gerontological nurse educators.
They offer a standard for selecting and assessing faculty in gerontological nursing.
Implementation of these competencies is expected to improve the education and training of future geriatric care providers.
