A short-term geriatric nursing programme in the US for Japanese Nurses.

Providing quality care to their growing elderly population is a top priority for Japanese nurses. As geriatric nursing has become a significant subspecialty in the US, this expertise was sought by the Japanese Hospital Administration in collaboration with Kyoto University. The result: a geriatric nursing programme developed to meet the specific needs of Japanese nurses in caring for the elderly, but yet adaptable to meet the needs of nursing students and registered nurses in other countries.

Curriculum

Nursing staff attitudes toward the geriatric nurse practitioner student.

This study investigated nursing staff attitudes toward the geriatric nurse practitioner as an agent of change in a long-term care facility, based on two University of Miami GNP students' practicum in a county nursing home. Nursing personnel were surveyed before and after the practicum to measure their acceptance of the GNP. While nursing staff initially held a wait-and-see attitude, posttest ratings were favorable. Recommendations for improving quality of care in the setting were made by student participants, and a six-month follow-up revealed that a number of changes had been implemented.

The level and focus of geriatric nursing content in ADN and BSN programs.

The didactic and clinical focus of geriatric curriculum content within both associate (ADN) and baccalaureate (BSN) schools of nursing in California was reviewed. Geriatric nursing content experts confirmed the detail of a geriatric nursing curriculum, then determined which of the content items were basic to both educational levels, and which might be appropriately deferred to programs of baccalaureate preparation. Nurse educators may use the results of this study to guide curriculum development in both depth and breadth of content.
