The study examines the motives and criteria for the participation of older dialysis employees in further training measures. It was found that older employees recognize the value of further training and support the importance of further training measures in the face of increasing job-related demands. The study also shows that the initiation of further training measures by superiors plays a major role and could increase the participation rate. The results suggest that a combination of online offerings and face-to-face instruction could be the appropriate form of learning for older employees. In addition, older workers are interested in cross-generational further training measures that could be promoted through mentoring programs. The article deals with the promotion of further training participation among older employees. It is emphasized that the competencies of both young and old should be equally valued in order to promote the inclusion of all age groups. A diverse range of further training offerings and personal conversations with superiors are identified as important factors for further training participation. The design of company courses and seminars should be more influenced by the practical needs of the company. It is recommended to align the learning objectives and content with the needs and competencies of the target group and to use constructivist didactics. The results of the survey can be used to generate specific further training measures or optimize existing measures. [Extracted from the article]

Workers age 55 and older left the labor force in large numbers following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Four years later, participation within this age group has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels, despite the strongest labor market in decades. This has resulted in an estimated shortfall of nearly 2 million workers. Analysis shows that the participation shortfall is concentrated among workers in this age group without a college degree and can be explained by increased and growing retirement rates for this group, above pre-pandemic trends.

Aim To measure competence, self-reported competence and self-efficacy; explore any differences between cohorts and student entry criteria; and explore the relationship between competence, self-reported competence, support and self-efficacy. Method All students undertook a three-station objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) and had previously completed a questionnaire, which included measures of self-reported competence, support and self-efficacy. The performance of two single year cohorts enabled measurement of competence development and progression. Results Students were competent in the core generalist skills of communication and hand decontamination but demonstrated low levels of numeracy. Conclusion Doubts are raised about the explanatory value or practical use of social cognitive theory in pre-registration curricula and questions are raised about the value of self-reported competence. This has implications for nursing and midwifery curricula, which emphasise the importance of self-assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim To understand why some women adjust successfully in later life while others, in similar circumstances, become overwhelmed by life and dislike their old age. Method Qualitative data were generated from field notes of participant observation carried out over ten months. In-depth interviews were also carried out with 11 young older and frail older women, aged 60 to 89 years, attending day centres. A grounded theory approach was adopted to collect and analyse participant observation and interview data. Findings Adjustment in later life occurs regardless of circumstance. Three areas were identified as being the main obstacles for many. These are depression, maintaining intimacy through friends and family, and managing the change process associated with older age. In addition, a core category of searching for meaning was discovered and used to understand how depression, intimacy and managing change affect adjustment in later life. Conclusion Nurses could use their skills and experience of listening carefully to older patients to discover whether they are distressed, and assess whether there is a need for psychological and emotional support. There is a need for more research into carrying out adjustment work with older women who are struggling to enjoy their later years and with older men to discover themes that are relevant to them. INSET: IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
