Description
Jennifer Peterson and co-authors test whether specialized geriatric education improves hospital care for frail seniors, in a 2023 paper. Past work hints that nurse training in frailty can cut frailty and raise function in older inpatients. The program ran in five hospitals in New Brunswick, Canada.
Sixty four staff took the training and filled surveys before and after, and a subset gave interviews. Chart data on mobility, drugs, and delirium came from ninety nine patients. Staff held positive views of older patients, but their grasp and use of geriatric principles stayed limited and did not change after training. Patient measures also showed no clear change, and staff blamed work conditions.
