DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Only 5 percent or less of social workers receive specialized training in gerontology in their educational programs. As a result, continuing education is the primary source of specialty training in geriatric care for BSW and MSW practitioners and the principal venue in which to develop required knowledge and practice skills to work with older adults. To address a need for evidence-based continuing education, NERI has partnered with the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) at Boston University to develop and test a training program, the Working with Older Adults Program, for practicing social workers that maximizes the transfer of practice skills, employs proven techniques of professional education, and can be delivered conveniently and cost-efficiently in the workplace. The program takes an evidence-based, client-centered approach to working with older adults, will be readily incorporated into existing training, and accessible to schools of social work, community-based agencies, and individual practitioners. Consistent with evidence from educational research on how adults learn new skills, a major objective of the program will be to model appropriate assessment and communication skills through the use of professional-quality videotaped dramatic vignettes. The Aims of Phase I included: 1) development of a detailed content outline for the series of videos in the full program; 2) development of a script treatment for the prototype video and the content for the associated Trainer's Guide; 3) production of the prototype video and related sections of the Trainer's Guide; 4) assessment of the feasibility of the training program; 5) development of the Phase II production schedule; and 6) development of a commercialization plan. These Phase I Aims were achieved. Importantly, the Phase I evaluation established the feasibility of the program and the testing methodology. The Aims of Phase II are: 1) development of full content for the entire program (8 modules); 2) development of script treatments for eight videos and the associated content for the Trainer's Guide; 3) production of the videos and related sections of the Trainer's Guide; 4) evaluation of the program's effectiveness; and 5) dissemination of the CE program in collaboration with the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) at Boston University. The program will be marketed as a CE product for social workers primarily through the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) at Boston University PROJECT NARRATIVE: Despite the increasing population of older adults in this country, only 5 percent or less of social workers receive specialized training in gerontology in their educational programs. Therefore, continuing education is the primary source of specialty training in geriatric care for BSW and MSW practitioners. The Working with Older Adults Program will take an evidence-based, client-centered approach to working with older adults, presented through a series of videos that can be included in a small-group training format or for individual use.

描述（由申请人提供）：在其教育计划中，只有5％或更少的社会工作者接受了老年医学的专业培训。结果，继续教育是BSW和MSW从业人员老年护理专业培训的主要来源，也是开发与老年人合作所需的知识和实践技能的主要场所。为了满足基于证据的继续教育的需求，NERI与波士顿大学的老年社会社会工作研究所（IGSW）合作开发和测试了一项培训计划，与老年人计划的工作，以最大程度地实践实践技能的社会工作者，可以使实践技能的转移最大化，可以实现专业教育，并可以方便地提供成本和成本的工作，并在工作场所提供了良好的工作。该计划采用基于循证的，以客户为中心的方法来与老年人合作，将很容易地纳入现有的培训中，并可以被社会工作，社区机构和个人从业人员访问。与成年人如何学习新技能的教育研究的证据一致，该计划的主要目标是通过使用专业质量录像带戏剧性的小插曲来对适当的评估和沟通技巧进行建模。第一阶段的目的包括：1）为完整程序中的一系列视频开发详细的内容大纲； 2）开发针对原型视频的脚本处理以及相关培训师指南的内容； 3）制作培训师指南的原型视频和相关部分； 4）评估培训计划的可行性； 5）制定II期生产计划； 6）制定商业化计划。这些阶段的目标是实现的。重要的是，I阶段评估确定了该程序和测试方法的可行性。第二阶段的目的是：1）为整个程序开发全部内容（8个模块）； 2）开发八个视频的脚本处理以及培训师指南的相关内容； 3）制作培训师指南的视频和相关部分； 4）评估该计划的有效性； 5）与波士顿大学的老年社会工作研究所（IGSW）合作传播CE计划。该计划将主要通过波士顿大学项目叙事的老年医学社会工作研究所（IGSW）作为CE产品：尽管该国的老年人人口越来越多，但只有5％或更少的社会工作者在其教育计划中接受了老年学专业培训。因此，继续教育是BSW和MSW从业者老年护理专业培训的主要来源。与老年人计划合作将采用以循证为中心的以客户为中心的方法来与老年人合作，这些方法是通过一系列视频呈现的，这些视频可以包含在小组培训格式或个人使用中。
