This study investigated the effects of an educational program in geriatrics on the attitudes of a group of third-year medical students. A survey designed to measure attitudes toward geriatric patient care, aging, and older people was administered to all students before and after their participation in a 25-hour geriatrics education component of a Family Practice Clerkship. Results showed the students' attitudes were significantly improved following the geriatrics training program. Prior training in geriatrics and their specialty preference were also found to have an impact on attitude. The implications of the study for medical education and research are discussed.
本研究调查了老年医学教育项目对一组三年级医学生态度的影响。在参加家庭医疗实习中25小时老年医学教育课程的所有学生参与项目前后，实施了一项旨在测量对老年患者护理、衰老和老年人态度的调查。结果显示，经过老年医学培训项目后，学生的态度有显著改善。还发现先前的老年医学培训及其专业偏好对态度有影响。讨论了该研究对医学教育和研究的意义。
