By 2050, the percentage of older adults in the United States will double. By 2060, nonmajority individuals will comprise nearly half of our older adult population. Therefore, nursing students must have learning experiences that prepare them to care for a diverse population of older adults when they enter practice.
Photo-elicitation and a photo essay project was initiated in an Aging and Health in Global Communities course in which 75 students created and presented photo essays of a diverse group of older adults.
Through spending time with older adults to create a photo essay, students ably portrayed lives rich in meaning and ethnocultural heritage.
The natural intersection of aging and diversity that occurred in the photo essays enlightened students to the rich experience of age and the similarities and unique differences in the lives of the older people portrayed. [J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(1):44-47.].
到 2050 年，美国老年人的比例将翻一番。到 2060 年，非多数族裔将占我们老年人口的近一半。因此，护理学生在进入实践时必须有学习经验，使他们能够为不同种族的老年人提供护理。
在老龄化与全球社区健康课程中启动了照片启发和照片文章项目，75 名学生创作并展示了一组不同老年人的照片文章。
通过与老年人一起创作照片文章，学生能够生动地描绘出富有意义和民族文化遗产的生活。
照片文章中出现的老龄化和多样性的自然交集使学生们了解到老年人丰富的经验，以及所描绘的老年人生活的相似之处和独特差异。[J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(1):44-47.].
