Building gerontological content into a nursing curriculum will help meet the rising nursing care needs of older adults. An educational framework used to support innovative teaching and learning strategies is presented. Using this framework, strategies for developing and teaching a new undergraduate nursing elective include exposure to and interactions with older adults, national conference attendance, and use of film to investigate issues of aging. A topical outline of the course, assignments, and additional teaching strategies are presented. To date, 58 students have reported high satisfaction and increased interest in gerontological nursing. Twenty-three percent of graduating nurses enrolled in this course and received specialty content in the care of older adults. Faculty satisfaction remained high. The innovative teaching strategies enhanced faculty and student engagement in course content. The successful use of these strategies should be considered for implementation in both elective and required courses that focus on gerontological nursing.
将老年护理内容纳入护理课程有助于满足老年人日益增长的护理需求。本文介绍了一个用于支持创新教学策略的教育框架。利用这个框架，开发和教授一门新的本科护理选修课的策略包括与老年人接触和互动、参加全国性会议以及使用电影来探讨老龄化问题。文中还给出了该课程的主题大纲、作业和其他教学策略。到目前为止，已有58名学生表示对老年护理非常满意并兴趣大增。23%的即将毕业的护士参加了这门课程并接受了老年人护理方面的专业内容。教师的满意度也一直很高。这些创新教学策略提高了教师和学生对课程内容的参与度。在专注于老年护理的选修课程和必修课程中，都应考虑成功运用这些策略。
