Academic-Practice Partnership to Strengthen Nursing Care of Older Adults
JOURNAL OF PROFESSIONAL NURSING(2023)
摘要
A long-standing academic-practice partnership was leveraged to facilitate student learning opportunities pertaining to care provision for older adults living with multiple chronic conditions and complex medical problems. Students from a gerontological nursing course in an accelerated baccalaureate nursing program were partnered with gerontology-educated population health nurses in primary care settings. Students observed how population health nurses integrated the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Age-Friendly 4Ms framework into clinical practice as they performed behavioral, psychosocial, and biometric health risks assessments for older adults during their Medicare annual wellness visit. The population health nurses served as role models for professional delivery of age-friendly care including preventative health and wellness care. Student confidence and perception of their understanding of age-friendly and gerontological nursing care improved. Post clinical experience debrief sessions and clinical reflection assignments demonstrated students' admiration of the expansive role and person-centered approach that population health nurses undertake to ensure comprehensive assessment and wellness promotion. Students appreciated the fluidity of population health nurses' conversation regarding the things that matter most to older adults with complex medical conditions.
