This study examined the students' perceptions on the care of the older persons and their education and training in geriatrics and gerontology in India. Students (n = 229) from medicine, nursing, and social work programs completed a survey. Three key findings emerged: (a) strong family ties and filial piety in aging care, (b) acknowledging the importance of social, economic, and religious factors in the care of the older persons while not recognizing the age-related health needs, and (c) although participants described their education and training as being adequate, lack of awareness of aging policies highlight the need for formalized educational and training opportunities.
本研究调查了印度学生对老年人护理及其老年医学和老年学教育和培训的看法。来自医学、护理和社会工作专业的 229 名学生完成了一项调查。主要有三个发现：（a）在老年人护理中，强烈的家庭纽带和孝顺；（b）承认社会、经济和宗教因素在老年人护理中的重要性，但没有认识到与年龄相关的健康需求；（c）尽管参与者表示他们的教育和培训是足够的，但对老龄化政策缺乏认识，这突出表明需要有正规的教育和培训机会。
