A gerontological clinical nursing practice with an interdisciplinary focus was developed to provide opportunities for student nurses to expand their knowledge about aging, hone assessment skills, and critically examine beliefs about older adults. The practice included theory about older adults and a rotation through a variety of clinical settings where students had practice opportunities with older adults. Based on the written and verbal feedback the authors gathered from students and clinical staff, the authors not only learned that was there improvement in students' knowledge, skills, and interactions with older adults, but they also gained greater understanding of the working of an interdisciplinary team and were able to provide a leadership role to the team through their geriatric assessments and knowledge of older adults.
开展了一项以跨学科为重点的老年临床护理实践，为学生护士提供机会，以扩展他们关于衰老的知识，磨练评估技能，并批判性地审视对老年人的看法。该实践包括关于老年人的理论以及在各种临床环境中的轮转，学生在这些环境中有与老年人实践的机会。基于作者从学生和临床工作人员那里收集到的书面和口头反馈，作者不仅了解到学生在知识、技能以及与老年人互动方面有改进，而且他们还对跨学科团队的运作有了更深入的理解，并能够通过他们的老年评估和对老年人的了解为团队发挥领导作用。
