Clinical Trial Summary
Elderly abuse is a pervasive and concerning issue, particularly as the global population
ages. Gerontological nurses play a pivotal role in identifying, preventing, and responding to
elder abuse.
Description:
A virtual-based educational program designed to alter nurses' responses to violence against
older adults is a comprehensive and interactive initiative aimed at equipping healthcare
professionals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to address and mitigate
instances of violence within this vulnerable demographic. This program leverages digital
platforms, incorporating multimedia elements, such as videos, case studies, and interactive
simulations, to create an engaging and immersive learning experience. The curriculum is
meticulously curated to cover various facets of violence against older adults, encompassing
types of abuse, risk factors, identification strategies, and evidence-based intervention
techniques.
Key components of the virtual program include scenario-based learning modules that simulate
real-world situations nurses may encounter, allowing them to practice appropriate responses
in a risk-free environment. Additionally, the program incorporates theoretical frameworks and
ethical considerations to guide nurses in understanding the complexities of violence against
older adults and formulating empathetic and effective responses.
Interactivity is a focal point, with virtual discussions, forums, and collaborative
activities promoting knowledge sharing and peer learning. The program integrates assessments
to measure participants' understanding and retention of the material, fostering a continuous
learning process.
Moreover, the virtual program emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration,
encouraging nurses to work in tandem with other healthcare professionals, social services,
and law enforcement agencies to create a comprehensive and supportive network for older
adults experiencing violence.
Post-program support mechanisms, such as access to resources, expert consultations, and
ongoing forums, contribute to sustaining the knowledge gained and fostering a community of
practice committed to addressing violence against older adults. Overall, this virtual-based
educational program serves as a dynamic and responsive platform, empowering nurses to
proactively address and respond to instances of violence against older adults in a holistic
and compassionate manner.
