Older adults represent the largest and fastest growing segment of
the population and are among those who access the health care
system to the greatest extent. These trends call for health care
professionals, such as nurses, to be well prepared to care for the
specialised and often complex needs of the older adult cohort. This
preparation often begins in basic nursing educational programs when
nursing students are introduced formally to the care of older
adults. However, nursing students do not enter their professional
programs unaffected by their socio-cultural context and especially
societal attitudes toward ageing and the older adult. This book
provides a synthesis and critique of this research to identify what
is known, to uncover gaps in knowledge, to make recommendations for
practice, and to consider directions for future research.
