This book was released on 2006 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The United States population of individuals over the age of 65 is projected to double by the year 2030, placing considerable strain on the healthcare system. This aging cohort will also contribute to a growing demand for Healthcare Professionals (HCP) trained and interested in working with this patient population. However, pre-professional students in the health professions have been shown to place low priority in working with older adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-professional allied health students' attitudes, knowledge, beliefs and subjective norms about working with older adults and determine which variables contribute to predicting intention to work with the older adult patient population. Using Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz: Part 1 (FAQ1) and Kogan's Old People Scale (KOPS), the survey also compared differences in knowledge level about aging and attitudes toward older adults based on intention to work with the older adult or not. Data collection for the study occurred during an introductory course at a large mid-western university, which included pre-professional students with plans to enroll in one of eleven allied health professional programs. Of the 205 students participating in the study, only 7 (3.4%) stated an intention to work with older adults after graduation despite all participants' close relationships and work experience with older adults. The pre-professional students' scores reflect a limited knowledge of aging and positive attitudes toward aging. Students intending to work with older adults were less influenced by subjective norms than those students not intending to work in geriatrics. The results of this study indicate a need for further research regarding variables influencing career intentions to work with aging patients. Recommendations include further qualitative study, education in professional programs and curriculum modification to include geriatric content in Allied Health Professional preparation.

Download or read book Health Professions Education written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
