BACKGROUND
Evidence-informed care to support seniors is based on strong knowledge and skills of nursing assistants (NAs). Currently, there are insufficient NAs in the workforce, and new graduates are not always attracted to nursing home (NH) sectors because of limited exposure and lack of confidence. Innovative collaborative approaches are required to prepare NAs to care for seniors.
METHODS
A 2009 collaboration between a NH group and a community college resulted in the Living Classroom (LC), a collaborative approach to integrated learning where NA students, college faculty, NH teams, residents, and families engage in a culture of learning. This approach situates the learner within the NH where knowledge, team dynamics, relationships, behaviours, and inter-professional (IP) practice are modelled.
RESULTS
As of today, over 300 NA students have successfully completed this program. NA students indicate high satisfaction with the LC and have an increased intention to seek employment in NHs. Faculty, NH teams, residents, and families have increased positive beliefs towards educating students in a NH.
CONCLUSION
The LC is an effective learning approach with a positive and high impact learning experience for all. The LC is instrumental in contributing to a capable workforce caring for seniors.
背景
为老年人提供循证护理需要护理助理（NA）具备扎实的知识和技能。目前，劳动力中护理助理数量不足，由于接触机会有限和缺乏信心，新毕业的学生并不总是被吸引到养老院（NH）领域工作。需要创新的合作方法来培养护理助理照顾老年人的能力。
方法
2009年，一个养老院集团与一所社区学院合作推出了“生活课堂”（LC），这是一种整合学习的合作方法，护理助理专业学生、学院教师、养老院团队、居民和家属参与到学习文化中。这种方法将学习者置于养老院环境中，在这里知识、团队动态、人际关系、行为和跨专业（IP）实践都得到了展示。
结果
截至目前，已有300多名护理助理专业学生成功完成该项目。护理助理专业学生对“生活课堂”表示高度满意，并更有意向在养老院就业。教师、养老院团队、居民和家属对在养老院教育学生的积极性也有所提高。
结论
“生活课堂”是一种有效的学习方法，能为所有人带来积极且影响深远的学习体验。“生活课堂”有助于培养一支有能力照顾老年人的劳动力队伍。
