“…This is surprising, given the considerable amount of research showing that relationships between individuals of different ages develops over time (e.g., Bales, Eklund, & Siffin, 2000;Couper, Sheehan, & Thomas, 1991). For instance, participants in an intergenerational learning program reported a more positive attitude toward the other generation after a few interactions (Hwang, Wang, & Lin, 2013;Penick et al, 2014). Similarly, developmental psychologists have proposed the notion of an "incubation effect," meaning that the beneficial effects of peer collaboration on individual learning oftentimes only become apparent after some time has elapsed (Howe, McWilliam, & Cross, 2005).…”

“…Higher scores indicate higher self‐transcendence. The Chinese version of the scale has demonstrated a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.81 in a study of Taiwan nursing students (Hwang, Wang, & Lin, ). An example item is “Having an ongoing interest in learning”, “Adjusting well to my present life situation.”…”

Aims To examine the relationship between nursing staffs’ self‐transcendence and well‐being in long‐term care facilities and to investigate the mediating role of caring behaviours in the aforementioned relationship. Background Factors associated with the well‐being of healthcare providers influence the quality of care delivered. Although an increasing number of studies have shed light on the relationship between self‐transcendence and subjective well‐being, little is known of the mediating effect of caring behaviour in this relationship. Design The cross‐sectional design applied in this study included a questionnaire survey of long‐term care facilities. Methods Structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation was used for empirical analysis of survey data obtained from 276 nurses and nurse‐aids in 55 long‐term care facilities. A bootstrapping method was used to analyse mediating effects. Results Tests of the measurement model and hypothesized model showed an adequate goodness of fit to the sample data. The results showed that nursing staffs’ self‐transcendence was related to their caring behaviours and well‐being. Moreover, caring behaviours partially mediated the relationship between self‐transcendence and well‐being. Conclusion Our findings provide insight into the influence of self‐transcendence and caring behaviours on the well‐being of nursing staffs in long‐term care settings. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of circumstances national wide.

“…Therefore, promoting intergenerational experiences that help reduce discrimination toward older adults is necessary to dispel myths related to aging and enable students to learn about age diversity (Hwang et al, 2013;Chen, 2018). There is also an urgent need for initiatives, inside and outside the nursing home that provide opportunities for older people to participate in meaningful activities that promote their health and mental wellbeing and help them engage in daily routines and connect with the community (Giné-Garriga et al, 2019).…”

Bridging Generation Gaps Through Service-Learning in Higher Education: A Systematic Review

Advances in health care have led to an increased life expectancy for the older populations. An increasing body of research warns of the need to provide opportunities for older people to develop their potential for physical, mental, and social well-being during the aging process. In this context, universities have incorporated the service-learning (SL) methodology into their curricular and extracurricular programs. They attempt to offer their students experiences that allow them, from their experience and reflection, to advance in knowledge, skills and attitudes toward the older population group. Therefore, this methodology allows linking academic activities with social commitment, involving young people, as genuine agents of social change, in constructing a fairer, more inclusive, and supportive society. Despite the large body of research on the definition and benefits that students generally derive from SL, there are no systematic reviews of the full range of benefits that SL experiences, specifically with older people, provide to all participants. In this context, a rigorous systematic review was conducted by referring to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and based on Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases, to answer one research question: What benefits do SL experiences that engage university students with older people, provide to the groups of participants? The analysis of the 28 selected research papers provides insights into the academic literature on the benefits of such experiences. On the one hand, they refer to the integral development of the student. On the other hand, they refer to the intergenerational relationships that promote the well-being of the elderly. Finally, the ethical commitment of the university, residences, agencies, and other organizations is mentioned. As a result, the positive impact on the community is highlighted.
