In describing an early training program of the Gerontological Manpower Project, we have attempted to demonstrate that short-term, on-site training with a frim theoretical and empirical base, can be an effective vehicle for translating research into application. In this case, research and theory based on the importance of the environment as therapeutic, and directed to maximizing geriatric patient independence was incorporated into a geriatric training programmthis was delivered to personnel working with the elderly in two institutional settings, differing in geriatric patient population and service orientation. To improve the effectiveness of future training programs, extensive evaluative research was included in the training processes. Although results were predictably tentative, they did yield much useful information both for subsequent program design as well as reinforcing a need for this process itself. Finally, a very satisfying and beneficial result of this project, as specified by the research staff and all participants, is that effective application of research results via appropriate training mechanisms are easily within reach of the nurse-practioner, and the oft-desired bridge between academia and the service delivery system is truly a collaborative reality.
在描述老年人力资源项目的一个早期培训计划时，我们试图证明，基于坚实理论和实证基础的短期现场培训，可以成为将研究转化为应用的有效途径。在这种情况下，基于环境作为治疗手段的重要性并旨在最大限度提高老年患者独立性的研究和理论，被纳入了一个老年培训计划。该计划面向在两种机构环境中照顾老年人的工作人员，这两种环境在老年患者群体和服务方向上有所不同。为了提高未来培训计划的有效性，培训过程中纳入了广泛的评估研究。尽管结果在意料之中是初步的，但它们确实为后续的项目设计提供了许多有用信息，同时也强化了对这一过程本身的需求。最后，正如研究人员和所有参与者所指出的，该项目一个非常令人满意且有益的结果是，通过适当的培训机制有效应用研究成果对于执业护士来说轻而易举，学术界与服务提供系统之间常常期望的桥梁真正成为了一种合作现实。
