Abstract

This article describes the development and evaluation of an intergenerational service-learning course designed to promote social work gerocompetencies. Service-learning opportunities were structured into the course, including an optional evidence-based falls prevention program, for older adults, entitled A Matter of Balance (MOB). Significant differences between pre- and posttest scores on the Geriatric Social Work Competency Scale (GSWCS) were noted for students in the service learning course (n=13). Once MOB was introduced as an independent variable, the MOB participants scored the highest mean posttest scores for 2 GSWCS domains: values, ethics, and theoretical perspectives; and intervention. The benefits of utilizing social work gerocompetencies to guide course objectives, content, and student outcomes are discussed.

摘要

本文介绍了一门旨在提升社会工作老年护理能力的代际服务学习课程的开发与评估。服务学习机会被纳入该课程，其中包括一个针对老年人的名为“平衡问题”（A Matter of Balance，简称MOB）的基于证据的预防跌倒项目。服务学习课程的学生（n = 13）在老年社会工作能力量表（GSWCS）的前测和后测分数上存在显著差异。将MOB作为自变量引入后，MOB参与者在GSWCS的两个领域的后测平均得分最高：价值观、伦理和理论视角；以及干预。本文还讨论了利用社会工作老年护理能力来指导课程目标、内容和学生成果的益处。
