    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Nursing Practice

    Background:

    • Behavioral techniques are increasingly utilized in geriatric care, emphasizing psychological and social interventions for the elderly.
    • Nurses are pivotal in analyzing patient performance and managing interventions but may lack experience in autonomous problem diagnosis and goal setting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of nurses autonomously diagnosing problems and setting performance goals in geriatric care.
    • To provide a framework for nurses to objectively specify performance, define prerequisites, establish success criteria, and discuss goal consequences.

    Main Methods:

    • The study emphasizes the need for nurses to develop skills in autonomous problem diagnosis and performance goal setting.
    • It suggests methods for objectively specifying performance, outlining prerequisites, defining success criteria, and discussing outcomes of goal attainment or non-attainment.

  • A complex geriatric case study was used in a teaching workshop to train nurses in defining intervention targets.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses can be trained to define and set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for geriatric patients.
    • Implementing structured goal-setting empowers nurses to manage intervention programs more effectively.
    • Clear communication of goal criteria and consequences enhances patient and caregiver engagement.

    Conclusions:

    • Empowering nurses with diagnostic and goal-setting skills is crucial for effective behavioral interventions in geriatrics.
    • Objective goal specification and clear communication of criteria are essential for successful geriatric care programs.
    • Further training and support are needed to enhance nurses' confidence and competence in autonomous goal setting for the elderly.
