| Description | Stereotypes and discrimination are serious problems of the modern society. Not only are the ageist attitudes to the elderly quite common in the lay population, but the problem with stereotyping is common also among health workers and many of them tend to ageism. The best way to prevent stereotyping in the clinical nursing practice is effective educational process focused on the identification of signs of ageism and using preventive strategies. The presentation will provide main educational strategies used in teaching of master students in geriatric nursing (supervision meetings, role modelling, using video based training etc.). |
