As the population ages, the number of careers that intersect with aging is expected to grow. However, many young people lack an interest in working with aging populations. As previous work has shown, though, students' interest in aging careers may be stimulated by coursework and experiential activities related to aging. Despite being a normative developmental process, anxiety about death and dying may be particular barriers to students developing interest in aging, and these topics may be particularly difficult subjects to teach in the college classroom. Here, strategies and activities for teaching the end of life are offered.
随着人口老龄化,与老龄化相关的职业数量预计将会增长。然而,许多年轻人对与老年人口打交道的工作缺乏兴趣。不过,正如之前的研究表明,与老龄化相关的课程和体验式活动可以激发学生对老龄化职业的兴趣。尽管这是一个正常的发展过程,但对死亡的焦虑可能是学生对老龄化产生兴趣的特别障碍,而这些话题在大学课堂上可能是特别难以讲授的主题。在这里,提供了一些教授生命末期的策略和活动。
