  • late life mental health education for Workforce Development brain versus heart
    American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jules Rosen, Emily Stiehl, Vikas Mittal, Debra Fox, John G Hennon, Dilip V Jeste, Charles F Reynolds
    Abstract:

    Purpose There is a shortage of mental health professionals to care for a growing geriatric population. Though not mutually exclusive, clinical and didactic educational experiences promote cognition, whereas affective knowledge (attitude) is promoted through nonclinical exposure to seniors. This study evaluates the relative impact of cognition and attitude on career interests among healthcare students. Methods We developed 13 interactive, video documentary "lessons" on late-life mental health presenting didactic material along with stories of actual patients and families. Four of these lessons were viewed at 1-week intervals by 42 students from medical school and graduate programs of social work, psychology, and nursing. Knowledge, attitudes, and inclinations toward working with seniors were assessed. Results Both cognition and attitudes toward seniors improved. Linear regression shows that change in attitude, not cognition, predicts interest in working with seniors. Conclusion Educational experiences that promote affective learning may enhance interest in geriatric careers among healthcare students.

  • consensus on the competencies required for public health nutrition Workforce Development in europe the jobnut project
    Public Health Nutrition, 2011
    Co-Authors: Svandis Jonsdottir, Roger Hughes, Inga Thorsdottir, Agneta Yngve
    Abstract:

    Objective: To assess and develop consensus among a European panel of public health nutrition stakeholders regarding the competencies required for effective public health nutrition practice and the level of proficiency required in different practice contexts. Design: A modified Delphi study involving three rounds of questionnaires. Setting: European Union. Subjects: Public health nutrition Workforce Development stakeholders, including academics, practitioners and employers, from twenty European countries. Results: A total of fifty-two expert panellists (84% of an initial panel of sixty-two Delphi participants) completed all three rounds of the Delphi study. The panellists rated the importance of fifty-seven competency units possibly required of a public health nutritionist to effectively practice (Essential competencies). Twentynine of the fifty-seven competency units (51%) met the consensus criteria ($66?7% agreement) at the second round of the Delphi survey, with the highest agreement for competencies clustered within the Nutrition science, Professional, Analytical and Public health services competency domains. Ratings of the level of competencies required for different levels in the Workforce indicated that for a public health nutrition specialist, advanced-level competency was required across almost all the twenty-nine competencies rated as essential. There were limited differences in rating responses between academics and employer panellists throughout the Delphi study. Conclusions: Competencies identified as essential can be used to review current public health nutrition practices and provide the basis for curriculum design and re-Development, continuing education and Workforce quality assurance systems in Europe. These are all important tools for systematic and strategic Workforce Development.
