Purpose: We evaluated whether education in self-management support (SMS) increases future clinicians' intentions to use a new way of delivering rehabilitation services. Methods: A convenience sample of 10 students took a 5-week theoretical course, followed by 6 weeks spent assessing patients, establishing treatment plans, and monitoring their performance by telephone. Focus groups were held before and after the educational modules, with deductive mapping of themes to the Theory of Planned Behaviour and inductive analysis of additional themes. Results: Five themes and 22 subcategories emerged from the deductive-inductive focus group content analysis. After participating in the educational modules, students reported gaining knowledge about SMS and highlighted the lack of similar preparation during their academic courses. Nonetheless, they were hesitant to adopt SMS. Conclusion: Future clinicians gained knowledge and skills after being exposed to SMS courses, but their intention to adopt SMS in their future daily practice remained low. We also noted a lack of formal training in SMS in the academic setting. The findings from this study support incorporating SMS training into the curriculum, but to increase students' intention to use SMS as part of patient care, training may need to be in more depth than it was in the modules we used.Key Words: education; occupational therapists; self-care; students. RÉ SUMÉObjectif : nous avons é valué si la formation en soutien à l'autogestion (SAG) augmente l'intention des futurs cliniciens d'utiliser une nouvelle maniè re de prodiguer des services de ré adaptation. Mé thode : un é chantillon de commodité de 10 é tudiants ont suivi un cours thé orique de 5 semaines, suivi d'un volet pratique de 6 semaines au cours duquel ils ont é valué des patients, dé terminé leur plan de traitement et fait un suivi de leur progression par té lé phone. Les groupes de discussion ont mené s avant et aprè s les modules é ducatifs, avec une sché matisation dé ductive de thè mes basé e sur la thé orie du comportement planifié et une analyse inductive de thè mes additionnels. Ré sultats : cinq thè mes et 22 sous-caté gories ont é mergé de l'analyse du contenu des discussions. Aprè s avoir participé aux modules é ducatifs, les é tudiants ont indiqué avoir acquis des connaissances relatives au SAG et ont souligné l'absence de pré paration similaire dans leurs cours universitaires. Né anmoins, ils é taient hé sitants à adopter le SAG. Conclusion : les futurs cliniciens ont acquis des connaissances et des compé tences aprè s avoir suivi les cours sur le SAG. Cependant, leur intention d'adopter le SAG dans leur pratique quotidienne future reste faible. Nous avons aussi constaté une absence de formation en SAG dans le milieu universitaire. Les conclusions de cette é tude justifient l'inté gration au curriculum d'une formation en SAG. Afin d'augmenter l'intention des é tudiants d'adopter le SAG, il y aurait cependant peut-ê tre lieu d'approfondir la formation par rapport aux modules que nous avons ut...

“…Several researchers are investigating educational strategies to address ageist attitudes in nursing students [8][9][10], yet there is a dearth of educational strategies to make students' ageist attitudes explicit. In this study, the ROPE survey instrument was used to provide a snapshot of the prevalence of ageist behaviours as reported by first-year undergraduate nursing students.…”

“…While the need to address the stereotypical and often unfavourable perceptions of older people was identified 20 years ago [3], strategies to reduce ageism are not well developed in nursing curricula. Small studies have shown moderate improvements in student attitudes, through an integrated approach to the care of older people in undergraduate curricula [8], structured visits to older people for first-year nursing students [9], and high fidelity simulation [10].…”

Abstract:There is proportionate increase in the health problems along with increase in elderly population in India. Nurses need to be well equipped with knowledge and should also have a positive attitude regarding elderly care. The current cross sectional study was undertaken with an objective to assess the knowledge and attitude of nursing students regarding care of elderly. Using purposive sampling technique, 267 undergraduate nursing students were enrolled in the study. A pre validated self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge and attitude of nursing students regarding elderly care. The knowledge questionnaire consisted of 28 multiple choice questions with one right answer. Total score was further categorized as poor, average and good as per the score obtained by the subjects. The attitude was assessed on a Likert five-point scale, ranged from 'strongly agree' with 5 score to 'strongly disagree' with 1 score. It consisted of 16 items. The total score was further categorized as unfavorable, neutral and favorable attitude as per the scores obtained. Majority (95.5%) of the subjects were females. Mean age (yrs) ± SD was 22.61 ± 3.31 with the range of 19-48 yrs. More than half (53.9) were from urban locality. Only 29.2% were staying with the grandparents. Mean knowledge score ± S.D. was 22.10 ± 2.91, with the range of 9-27. Around two third (76.4) were in the good category of knowledge score. Mean attitude score ± S.D. was 60.38 ± 8.95 with the range of 22-78. 64.6% were in the positive category of attitude. Knowledge and attitude were positively correlated.
