Abstract:

Abstract Ageism includes negative attitudes, stereotyping, and discriminatory behavior toward older adults and is associated with negative consequences for health and well-being of the growing older population. In addition, ageism affects structural health care including psychological treatment of older individuals. Since educational interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing ageist prejudice and improving knowledge about older people, courses in gerontology taught as part of the psychology curriculum might help future psychologists to be better equipped to challenge ageism and to provide more effective and compassionate care to older adults. In the present study, we compared psychology students (n = 50) that chose courses in applied geropsychology with students of other specialization of choice (n = 26) on multiple scales including affective (attitudes), cognitive (stereotypes) and behavioral (discrimination) dimensions. Questionnaires were completed at the beginning and the end of one semester to conduct a within pre- and post-treatment assessment and analysis with a comparison group. Results showed that geropsychology students improved in self-reported knowledge about aging and older adults (d = 0.71). However, other tests did not show a statistically reliable improvement on the three assessed ageism dimensions within one semester. Findings implicate that gained knowledge about aging does not necessarily lower prejudice. In our discussion we highlight possible interventions targeting psychology students and reflect on methods to assess attitudes, stereotypes, and behavioral aspects of ageism in participants with high education level.

Abstract:

Abstract Knowledge about aging and intergenerational contact were identified in Levy’s (2018) Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences (PEACE) model as the two elements that are key to reducing ageist attitudes. Existing empirical literature examining these relationships has primarily focused on undergraduate, rather than graduate, students and has typically operationalized knowledge about aging as a unidimensional construct (i.e., total score). Thus, in this study, we examined how knowledge within three specific domains of aging (psychological, social, biological) as well as quantity of contact with older adults related to ageist attitudes among doctoral psychology students (N=192; age=21-58 years). Participants completed the Contact with Older Adults Scale, Facts about Aging Quiz, Fraboni Scale of Ageism (subscales: Stereotypes, Separation, Affective Attitudes), and Ambivalent Aging Scale (subscales: Hostile Ageism, Benevolent Ageism). Controlling for students’ age and aging coursework, the three knowledge domains and contact together explained between 8%-24% of the variance in the five measures of ageist attitudes. As expected, greater knowledge of psychological aging related to less endorsement of ageist stereotypes and less separation from older adults; however, greater knowledge of biological aging related to more ageist attitudes across all five measures, and greater knowledge of social aging related to more benevolent ageist attitudes. More contact with older adults related to less separation and less negative affect about older adults, but not to the other ageist attitudes measures. Differentiating between domains of aging knowledge produced unique relations with both explicitly negative and ambivalent ageist attitudes, which ageism intervention designers may need to consider.

Abstract:

More and more, the elderly population is assuming a fundamental role in the structure of our society. However, this advancement does not appear to be matched by a change in the subconscious of many people in contemporary society who still tend to nurse a certain stigma with regard to old age. Ageism is the term that represents prejudice against and discrimination of the elderly and the ageing process. Religiosity has been suggested as one of the protective factors against ageism. In order to investigate the relationship between ageism and religiosity in future health professionals, this article describes a study carried out with students of Psychology and Medicine in a university in the Federal District of Brasilia. A total of 88 Psychology and 80 Medicine undergraduates took part in the study. The Fraboni Scale of Ageism and the Duke Scale of Religiosity were employed. The results show a predominance of positive attitudes towards the elderly, a prevalence of religious believers in both groups studied as well as a modest relationship between ageism and religiosity. The implications for training in the area of health are discussed

Abstract:

In the light of ageing populations, three general issues of health and ageing become relevant for research and intervention in health psychology: ageing in the general population, among those who are confronted with frailty and illness, and on the ageing experiences of specific populations. In all of these areas there is a need to understand the factors (such as social engagement) that promote well-being and compression of ageing in community or institutional dwelling elders, while being aware of the impact of ageism, inequalities and exclusion on different people’s access to health related policy resources and health care.

Abstract:

Abstract According to the World Health Organization, the global population is aging, but ageism may now be the most socially “normalized” of any prejudice, more pervasive than sexism or racism. Ageism produces avoidant and disrespectful treatment of older adults and contributes to a shortage of college students seeking careers with older adults. To foster positive intergenerational contact and combat ageism, we organized life-story sharing by older adult community members in four undergraduate psychology courses with lifespan themes (Psychology of Aging, Memory, Death & Dying, Developmental Psychology; n≅500). A panel visited each class; instructors and graduate students facilitated discussion between students and panelists. Students completed pre- and post-surveys of ageism and attitudes toward aging. A majority of students recommended integrating the activity into future semesters. In free-responses, students also frequently expressed surprise that panelists reported not feeling different than they had at age 20, and that this information challenged previously held stereotypes.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTA prominent feature of anxiety in late life is concerns regarding physical health. Anxiety symptoms among older adults have been connected with various psychological outcomes, including social isolation and loneliness. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many societies have demonstrated increased ageist attitudes, encouraging older adults to distance themselves from society. Accordingly, the current study examined the moderating role of COVID-19-related ageism in the connection between COVID-19 health worries and anxiety symptoms among older adults. Data were collected from 243 older adults (age range 60–92; M = 69.75, SD = 6.69), who completed scales assessing COVID-19-related health worries and ageism, as well as anxiety symptoms. The results demonstrated that both health worries and ageism were positively associated with anxiety symptoms. Moreover, the connection between health worries and anxiety symptoms was more pronounced among older adults with high ageism levels. The study highlights the vulnerability of older adults in general, and ageist older adults in particular, to the negative consequences of COVID-19-related health worries, and emphasizes the role of the increased ageist stance of society during the pandemic in this regard.

Abstract:

Objective:The purpose of this article is to review all the interventions that researchers have used to reduce ageist attitudes in the population.Methods:We performed a literature search using PubMed database including the following MeSH terms: (“Ageism”[Mesh] OR “ageism”[tiab] OR “Age discrimination”[tiab]) AND (intervention* [tiab] OR therapy * [tiab] OR training* [tiab] OR prevention* [tiab]). 257 studies were found and only 18 were selected based on their language (only Spanish and English ones were included) and according our inclusion criteria.Result:To date, most widely strategies used in previous studies included: Intergenerational contact, education or both. Other techniques such as performing arts (theater and cinema), museums exhibitions and the simulation of activities for the elderly have been also studied with successful results. Likewise, two of the articles mentioned mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy as a preventive ageism strategy have not been demonstrated yet.Conclusion:Different interventions have been tried to reduce ageist attitudes. The greatest benefits have been seen with the combination of intergenerational contact and population education. Ageism is an important problem that concerns today's society; further studies focused on strategies to reduce ageist attitudes in the general population are needed.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTAgeism is a key challenge to today’s aging societies. “Dialogue with Time” is an original Israeli interactive museum exhibit that aims to change negative ageist attitudes by creating a meaningful and stereotype-breaking encounter between visitors and old age. The objective of this study was to examine whether the exhibition reduces ageist attitudes among its visitors. The study employed a comparative pre-post structure with a comparison group. A closed-answer questionnaire was supplied to 100 participants in the experimental group, visitors to the “Dialogue with Time” exhibit, and to 100 participants in the control group. Participants were asked to complete the questionnaire before entering the exhibits and again after experiencing them. Changes in the level of ageism were measured using the Farboni Scale of Ageism. A significant reduction in ageism attitudes was shown in the experimental group when comparing before and after the visit, t(91) = 11.75, p = 0.001, with a good effect size of Cohen’s d = 0.50, whereas in the control group there was no significant change, t(76) = 0.05, p = 0.95, and a weak effect size of Cohen’s d = 0.00. The findings indicate that combating ageism can also be sustained by means of museum exhibits. We recommend that museums and other similar public institutions (e.g. art galleries, exhibition halls) use public spaces to advance multigenerational exposure to positive images of aging.

Abstract:

Older workers are commonly perceived to be less able to adapt to change, particularly during challenging times such as those we are now experiencing. This paper will explore the origins and impact of such negative stereotyping and suggest a possible means to guard against it. It will then provide a consideration of how such a mechanism can be used to inform a coaching approach across the lifespan of a worker and how this can fit within existing coaching and coaching psychology models. Additional interventions will be explored and, within this context, a position will be suggested as to why coaching may be best placed to tackle the issue of ageism and promote successful ageing at work.This article is based on a paper presented at the 1st International Congress of Coaching Psychology, Dublin, on 18 June 2011.

Abstract:

Abstract Ageism First Aid is an online course designed to combat ageism, advance Gerontology, and generate revenue for Gerontology programs and GSA/AGHE activities. The project was funded by a grant from the Retirement Research Foundation and sponsored by the AGHE Academic Program Development Committee. The AFA course content is informed by developmental, social, and cognitive psychology, sociocultural and cognitive linguistics, speech-language science, and geriatrics. The content cultivates ageism awareness by replacing the common misconceptions about aging that underlie ageism with facts. The content also cultivates cultural consciousness and uses concise common language accessible to learners of diverse backgrounds. During this symposium, participants will be introduced to the course content and explore the benefits of this multidisciplinary approach to curriculum development. The results summary of the AFA course pilot will be presented as evidence of the course efficacy. Participants will leave able to utilize AFA within their institutions and local Aging Networks.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn our society that values men over women and youth over old age, sexism and ageism intersect to erode women's status more rapidly and severely than men's. However, limited attention is given to women's responses to their devaluation, particularly collective efforts to either resist or accommodate dominant beliefs about ageing women. We examine membership in the Red Hat Society, an international organisation for middle-aged and older women, as a response to gendered ageism. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with members (N = 52), our analysis focuses on the group's ‘performance of girlhood’, which involves adopting children's social roles, dressing up and playing. We examine its resonance with a dominant cultural metaphor for old age as ‘second childhood’, illustrating how it not only provides opportunities for resistance to gendered ageism but also contributes to its entrenchment. The behaviours constitute a performative act that resists gendered ageism by increasing ageing women's visibility and asserting their right to leisure. However, its accommodative features reproduce inequality by valuing youth over old age and depicting older women as girls engaging in frivolous activities, which can be seen as obstructing social change.

Abstract:

Abstract Adultism is an underappreciated influence on young adults’ career choices and a hidden contributing factor to the geropsychology workforce shortage. This study reports on the development of an Adultist Concerns scale and its correlations with several factors relevant to careers in aging. Clinical psychology doctoral students (n = 109) completed the new scale along with measures of ageism, training interests, and experience working with older adults. The Adultist Concerns scale had strong internal consistency (α = .952) and factor loadings .853 and .929. Females scored significantly higher than males (p = .003). There were significant positive correlations between Adultist Concerns and both overall ageist behaviors (p = .002) and negative ageist behaviors specifically (p = .002). Adultist concerns were significantly negatively correlated with age (p = .000), interest in working with older adults (p = .003), and experience with this population (p = .043).

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of factors that determine the students’ ageism attitudes, as well as their perception of the image “I am the old”. Aim. To investigate the connection between ageism attitudes with the indicators of conformism and control locus. Materials and methods. Sample: 100 students of the Faculty of Psychology, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (specialty “social pedagogy” and “social work”). Toolkit: Leary interpersonal communication skills test, The level of empathy test (I. Yusupov), Big-5 personality questionnaire, The locus of control test (J. Rotter), Questionnaire of ageism attitudes (E. Krainikov). Results. Younger youths are more conformal and less empathic than older youths. Regarding the openness to the new experience, there were no significant differences between the respondents of both groups. Older youths are characterized by internal control locus comparing to younger youths. In addition, older youths have more positive and objective view to aging and old age. On the contrary, younger youths are more biased towards aging and old age. Conclusions. The low level of conformism contributes to the formation of positive ageism attitudes, with the relative adoption of the image “I am the old”; the average level of conformism contributes to a balanced approach to aging and old age; a high level of conformism contributes to the formation of a negative ageism attitudes, testifies to the rejection of the image “I am the old”. Also, the ageism attitudes are affected by the level of subjective control. The internal control locus correlates with more positive ageism attitudes. Youth associates with a decrease in the level of conformism and increased control of the internal locus; therefore, older youths show more positive ageism attitudes and are likely to adopt the image “I am the old”.

Abstract:

Abstract A rapidly growing older adult population underlies the importance of reducing ageism. Research shows that college students typically hold negative views of older adults. While education and demonstrations within aging-focused courses contribute to reducing ageist beliefs, attitudes, and behavior toward older adults, contact with older adults amplifies these effects. This study investigated whether integrating contact with older adults into a lifespan development course was effective in decreasing college students’ ageism. The sample (N = 104; Mage = 19.94, SD = 3.27) were enrolled in the psychology course, largely as a major requirement for social science majors (51.9%) and health science majors (38.5%). As part of the course curriculum, a portion of the students (n = 57) interacted with older adults to fulfill a service-learning requirement; a control group (n = 47) were not given this option. Knowledge (Facts on Aging), behavior (Relating to Old People Evaluation; aging-related career intentions), and attitudes (Anxiety about Aging and Ambivalent Ageism) were assessed at the beginning and end of the semester. Quantity and quality of contact with older adults was also measured at baseline as a covariate. In a series of ANCOVA analyses, students with aging-related experiences across the term did not differ significantly on any measure compared to those without these experiences, controlling for experience with older adults and baseline assessments. The implications of this finding in the context of research may signal that focus of the course content may be an important moderator of the effectiveness of service-learning experiences with older adults.

Abstract:

It is clear that old people do not necessarily lose their autonomy as they age and nor should they lose their rights to make their own decisions, including the right to request euthanasia or assisted suicide, if the Law of the jurisdiction allows it. However, there are also vulnerable elderly and there is a concern that frail older people could be coerced into ending their lives because of their fears about being a burden on either their family or society. This presentation analyses how ageism can influence the formation of the desire to die in the elderly, especially in those of greater physical and/or mental frailty

Abstract:

Objective:Ageism, defined as stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination against older people, is an emerging public health concern [1]. Ageist attitudes and behaviors in health care are found to negatively affect the physical and mental well-being of older individuals [2]. This study is the first to investigate ageism and its determinants in Lebanese healthcare settings.Methods:We diffused an online survey including the Fraboni Scale for Ageism (FSA) [3] and other variables to nurses, physicians, nursing, and medical students at an urban university hospital in Lebanon. We obtained online consent from participants prior to filling the survey. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of St. Georges Hospital University Medical Center (IRB-REC/O/066-21/3321).Results:We recruited 233 participants (47.2% medical students, 21.5% nurses, 20.6% physicians and 10.7% nursing students). Mean age was 29.2 (Standard Deviation—SD = 12) years. Almost two-thirds were female. Half the sample came from rural areas. Almost 60% currently live or have lived with an adult aged≥ 60 years. The FSA total score ranged between 33 and 87 (mean 58.9; SD 10.2). The mean/SD scores were 22.6 (4.5), 17.2 (3.2) and 19.1 (4.3) for the antilocution, discrimination and avoidance subscales of the FSA respectively. There was a positive correlation between age and FSA total score (p=0.041), in addition to discrimination and avoidance subscores (p=0.0001). Originating from rural areas was associated with significantly lower discrimination scores. Living or having lived with an older individual was associated with significantly lower overall ageism and discrimination scores. In addition, students (nursing and medical) were found to have lower ageist perceptions and attitudes compared to healthcare professionals (nurses and physicians). Table 1 shows the results of bivariate analyses performed. Regression analyses showed that only living or having lived with an older person remained significantly associated with lower ageism scores (p=0.036) after accounting for other covariables.Conclusions:Lower ageism was found among students compared to practicing nurses and physicians. Having lived with an older person was a protective factor against ageism. Specific anti-ageism interventions may need to be implemented to mitigate its impact in healthcare among students and practitioners.Table 1Bivariate analyses of FSA total score and subscores on covariates of interestFSA total score mean (SD)p-valueAntilocution subscore mean (SD)p-valueDiscrimination subscore mean (SD)p-valueAvoidance subscore mean (SD)p-valueGender0.380.39P=0.1P=0.99Men (n=73)57.98 (10.56)22.2 (5.1)16.67 (3.26)19.1 (4.36)Women (n=160)59.26 (10.09)22.76 (4.2)17.39 (3.03)19.11 (4.33)Origin0.0640.0620.0290.38Capital and suburbs (n=117)60.1 (10.2)23.1 (4.5)17.6 (3.03)19.35 (4.38)Rural Areas (n=116)57.6 (10.1)22.04 (4.36)16.7 (3.15)18.85 (4.28)Residence0.90.490.420.11Capital and suburbs (n=175)58.8 (10.36)22.71 (4.65)17.26 (3.1)18.85 (4.27)Rural Areas (n=58)59 (9.9)22.24 (3.88)16.88 (3.15)19.88 (4.44)Healthcare professional group0.050.20.250.017Students (nursing/medical) n=13557.76 (10.20)22.27 (4.72)16.96 (3.26)18.53 (4.15)Healthcare worker (nurses/physicians) n=9860.37 (10.13)23.03 (4.08)17.44 (2.89)19.9 (4.46)Exposed to adults ≥ 60 years old0.0820.570.0020.18No (n=98)60.2 (10.9)22.8 (4.9)17.9 (3.3)19.5 (4.3)Yes (n=135)57.9 (9.6)22.4 (4.1)16.6 (2.8)18.8 (4.3)

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:Ageism in long-term care is pervasive, but it is not easy to define, to identify and to fight it in practice. These difficulties could be overcome if we develop research capable to conceptualize, detect, measure, and understand the multidimensionality and complexity of ageism. Nevertheless, to achieve this, it is fundamental to know how ageism in long-term care has been previously studied.Methods:This paper systematically reviews studies on ageism in long-term care services published before October 2015 and indexed in Web of Science, PubMed, and Social Care Online electronic databases. Electronic searches were complemented with visual scanning of reference lists and hand searching of leading journals in the field of gerontology. Four specific review questions were addressed: Which analytical angles (aetiology, prevalence, manifestations, consequences, and interventions) have been explored? Which theories and concepts have been used? Which methods have been employed? Which variants of ageism have been covered?Results:Studies have focused mainly on the manifestations, etiology, and prevalence of ageism, neglecting its consequences and the interventions to tackle it; a significant number of studies used scales of ageism which, despite being appropriate considering the aims of the research, present important limitations; most studies have focused on residential services, neglecting non-residential services; some of the variants of ageism have been well covered, while implicit and self-ageism have been under-explored.Conclusions:Research on ageism in long-term care services is scarce but important. Much has been done but much remains to be done. An agenda for future research is presented.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:Global suicide rates among older adults are very high. Public attitudes towards older adults’ suicide may affect older adults upon their contemplating such an act. Previous research has demonstrated that message framing affects persons’ judgments and decision making. Thus, message framing may have particular significance in the context of attitudes towards end-of-life phenomena, such as physician-aided suicide. This study examined the possible role of ageism in moderating the effect of message framing on attitudes towards older adults’ suicide.Methods:Two studies examined the association between ageism and attitudes towards older adults’ suicide. Study 1 assessed both variables by self-administered questionnaires; Study 2 further examined these variables, incorporating participants’ responses to a suicide-related vignette, and evaluating the possible effect of message framing, using a between-participants design.Results:High-ageism participants expressed greater acceptance for older adults’ suicide, whereas low-ageism participants expressed a less permissive approach to it (Study 1). In addition, ageism moderated the effect of message framing on attitudes towards older adults’ suicide: High-ageism participants revealed a more permissive attitude towards older adults’ suicide when the issue was presented in positive terms of not prolonging life, relative to a negative presentation of ending life; a similar effect was not found for low-ageism participants (Study 2).Conclusions:The moderating effect of ageism on attitudes towards older adults’ suicide has both theoretical and practical implications. We discuss these implications with respect to suicide prevention among older adults, and suggest future research.

Abstract:

Research on the nature and consequences of ageism, focused on the study of the limitations of the older generation’s participation in labor activity, has become relevant in recent years due to changes in the age structure of society. The coronavirus pandemic has increased the spread of ageism towards the older generation, since this age group is at greater risk of developing serious illness from COVID-19. The article presents the results of a bibliometric analysis of ageism research in modern conditions, in particular in the context of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The aim of the work was to study the diversity of research in the field of ageism based on the definition of thematic clusters of research areas actively developing on this issue. The logic of the conducted research included systematization of the theoretical foundations of ageism studies, assessment of the current state of solving the age discrimination problem, identification of clusters and research trends related to age discrimination that identify a close relationship between discriminatory practices and age-related perception stereotypes concerning the older generation. The methodological approach of the research was based on a bibliometric analysis and consisted in the use of VOSviewer software tools. The material for the analysis was 2,066 articles on the topic of ageism published from 1975 till 2021 in the Web of Science database. The material was analyzed using bibliometry and visualization methods. The obtained results indicate an increase in the number of research on the problems of ageism, including such areas as gerontology, psychology, educational research, nursing, business and economics, social work, etc. The bibliometric analysis shows that North American and European countries lead in the development of this problem. As a result of the research, the following thematic clusters were identified: “Attitudes and Perception Stereotypes”, “Employment of Older People”, “Gerontology”, and “Medical Care”. The results of the study will allow finding opportunities for scientific collaborations to jointly study this problem.

Abstract:

AbstractThe world is ageing fast with a renewed emphasis on comprehensive healthcare for older people. This has created a paradigm shift towards rights and social justice-based approach to augment the medical model of mental healthcare. Dignity is one such construct embedded into the human-rights approach. It comprises of self-respect and worthiness of an individual as well as social acceptance of his/her identity. Dignity is a multi-faceted concept and consists of privacy, independence, inclusion, autonomy, etc. It includes community participation, functional abilities, rights to sexuality and oral healthcare, outcomes which are often neglected in conventional psychogeriatric care. Ageism and fear of ageing can exacerbate social stereotypes thereby compromising dignity in older people and risk of elder abuse.Geriatric psychiatry is uniquely positioned to equip mental healthcare with a ‘dignity-based’ approach promoting social connectedness and health equality. This further needs integration into all levels of public health for better access and holistic psychosocial management.With this background and on the backdrop on the unique psychosocial challenges posed by the COVID- 19 pandemic, this symposium glances at various dimensions of dignity-based psychogeriatric care: –Practical approach towards dignity promotion in healthcare using an attributional model–Perspectives, healthcare challenges and research from LMIC like Brazil and India related to dignity among older people and its impact on ageism and human rights–Rights-based geriatric mental healthcare in the developed nations–Finally, an urgent call for Convention on human rights of older persons for promoting dignity in healthcare and combatting ageism

Abstract:

We investigated how moral judgments were influenced by (a) the age and gender of the moral perpetrator and victim, (b) the moral judge’s benevolent ageism and benevolent sexism, and (c) the moral judge’s gender. By systematically manipulating the age and gender of the perpetrators and victims in moral scenarios, participants in two studies made judgments about the moral transgressions. We found that (a) people made more negative judgments when the victims were old or female rather than young or male, (b) benevolent ageism influenced people’s judgments about young versus old perpetrators, and (c) people had differential moral expectations of perpetrators who belonged to their same-gender group versus opposite-gender group. The findings suggest that age and gender stereotypes are so salient to bias people’s moral judgments even when the transgression is undoubtedly intentional and hostile.

Abstract:

The objective of the study is to test a refined measure of attitudes about aging as a multidimensional construct reflective of a relational process that includes personal identity (i.e., beliefs about oneself), social identity (i.e., self-conception based on group membership), and collective identity (i.e., self-conception based on comparison of groups) as well as capturing awareness of ageism and its impact. Researchers refined the Aging Anxiety Scale and recruited a convenience sample of 329 participants via a social media platform. A principal component factor analysis revealed the specification of three latent factors: personal, relational, and collective aging anxiety. Awareness of ageism as a problem in society was lower than awareness of other forms of discrimination, and awareness of the negative impacts of ageism was low. The findings support the incorporation of this new measure of relational aging anxiety as a by-product of social identity and construction in future ageism studies.

Abstract:

Objective:By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over (World Health Organization, 2022). This Manifesto is the result of the work undertaken by the Task Force of the Italian Association of Psychology working in the field of Clinical Psychology of Ageing. There is a general belief that older people do not benefit from psychological interventions, due to the prejudice that they may be less psychologically flexible or unable to change and/or improve their functioning. However, current evidence suggests that psychological interventions, including both more and less structured ones, are equally effective for older and working-age adults. Therefore, the aim of this Manifesto was to highlight the specific role of the Clinical Psychology in enabling older adults to overcome the multiple challenges associated with the ageing process and disease-related issues.Methods:We reviewed existing empirical and conceptual literature on main issues in clinical work with older adults.Results:We identified and thoroughly described areas of major interest, such as theoretical models on how we think, feel and act towards age and ageism; prevention of emotional distress and cognitive decline and promotion of older adults’ psychological health in community; multidimensional assessment and evidence-based psychological interventions, also mediated by technology, for healthy older adults and those living with chronic disease such as dementia. Attention to psychological issues related to informal and formal caregiving, as well as the need for education, training and public engagement will be highlighted.Conclusion:With a population living longer worldwide, it is essential to introduce and formalize initiatives to reduce health inequities and improve the lives of older people and their families. This should take place in communities able to foster the abilities of older people, while providing them with access to quality long-term care, if needed.

Abstract:

For some time in Britain, it has been difficult to recruit clinical psychologists and other health professionals to work with older people. This pattern of under-recruitment has also been reported in other countries. With the growing number of older people in western societies, the issue of under-recruitment warrants further attention. This research reported here aimed to explore this issue among the next generation of clinical psychologists: those currently training. Questionnaires were posted to 25 of the clinical psychology training courses in the United Kingdom, and 371 trainees returned questionnaires. Among the questions posed, the trainees were asked to set down their thoughts as to why it might be difficult to recruit to the older adult specialty and how recruitment could be improved. The results suggest that many trainees believe that clinical psychology, despite many recent advances, has less to offer older people than other age groups. The responses contain evidence of both ageism and the fear of ageing and death. To improve recruitment into the older adult specialty of clinical psychology, the predominant recommendations were for good quality placements and teaching during training, as well as a need for improved marketing by clinical psychologists working in this specialty, and also for improved support, terms and conditions.
