de Guzman, Allan B.; Carungcong, Bobbie Jo H.; Castillo, Jasper Q.; Castillo, Joyce Anne A.; Castro, Jenelyn S. – Educational Gerontology, 2009
The need to revolutionize geriatric nursing is dawning. However, there is a negative view regarding this nursing field. The dearth of literature on the use of theatrical films to surface universal realities in a care-driven profession has led to this attempt of bringing to reality the essences of caring, carer, and cared-for and their interactions…

Bardach, Shoshana H.; Rowles, Graham D. – Gerontologist, 2012
Purpose: Relative to the overall population, older adults consume a disproportionally large percentage of health care resources.

This contribution…

Building on the classical works of sociologists Ferdinand Tonnies, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim, this…

The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship among counselor…

Lubart, Emily; Segal, Refael; Mishiev, Ruth; Buchman, Ruth; Leibovitz, Arthur – Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, 2010

A survey of knowledge in basic health care for elderly persons, carried out by our team in 1996, revealed that it was insufficient. The authors repeated this survey in 2006, by using…

Fiske, Amy; Zimmerman, Jennifer A.; Scogin, Forrest – Educational Gerontology, 2011
The need for clinical geropsychologists currently exceeds their availability, and this imbalance is expected to worsen along with the impending growth in the older adult population.
