Abstract:
Abstract Aging is a distinct part of the life cycle. College students enrolled in courses in gerontology often have difficulty relating to aging, that part of life not yet experienced. They may not fully appreciate that adults become more unique, not more similar, as they age. We describe courses in an undergraduate gerontology certificate program that incorporate experiential learning activities with older adults across a hierarchical sequence of courses. These courses feature service learning opportunities focused on increased understanding of course content, broader appreciation of the discipline and improved sense of civic responsibility. Much like the course content of the curriculum, the incorporated experiential learning opportunities for each course level fit a hierarchy leading to student competence and skills development needed for success in the final independent practicum. For the described courses, students provided community service, experienced direct contact with older adults and used reflective practices to integrate course content into service learning activities. We report on qualitative data obtained from students enrolled in the foundational course, Biophysical Aspects of Aging and the third level course, Aging and Mental Health. Content analyses of reflective essays identified five themes: (a) insights about the realities of aging in America (b) perceptions concerning personal negative stereotypes about older adults; (c) feelings of accomplishment/awareness of new skills in providing community services; (d) understandings related to the importance/value of community service; and (e) successes in integrating the course work on aging into service-learning experiences. Other experiential learning activities incorporated into this gerontology certificate program are highlighted.

Abstract:
One of the forms of social work organization in rural areas is the work of united territorial communities created in the course of administrative reform in Ukraine. Such social services in the community can be developed on the basis of a local school, turning it into a comprehensive center of social work with children and adults, families, the elderly and the disabled. The center can employ social educators and social workers, cultural organizers, medical social workers, psychologists. Lawyers, economists and other specialists can be involved as consultants. Analysis of socio-economic problems of the modern Ukrainian village allows to design the main directions of social work in the community: socio-pedagogical patronage at the place of residence; individual social patronage; programs of individual support of children and parents "at risk"; advisory points; charity events; pedagogical psychotherapy; educational courses for children and parents; initiative groups, clubs of assistants of social pedagogues; employment of adolescents and young people. During our research, villages with a high, medium and low level of organization of social work were identified. Along with the negative tendencies, sprouts of a new, creative attitude to work with the inhabitants of rural areas were revealed. This work is based on a systematic approach to the organization of institutions and associations of socio-educational and cultural orientation. Keywords: administrative reform, social work, rural community, united territorial community

Abstract The University of Alabama experiential learning program, Bringing Art to Life (BATL) pairs teams of undergraduate students with persons with dementia attending an adult day services program and engaging in structured art therapy and reminiscence. Graduate students in clinical geropsychology work with an interdisciplinary team and conduct outcomes research focused both on individuals with dementia and student learners. Across seven semesters, we found that students in the BATL course compared with students in either didactic psychology of aging courses or an introductory psychology courses demonstrated improved attitudes towards persons with dementia and increased empathy. Graduate and undergraduate students learned mixed method and community-engaged research methods, producing clinically meaningful research. Experiential learning is essential to the recruitment of a new gerontology workforce.

Abstract:
This study develops and applies a service learning course that integrates university curriculum with the local community in housing and interior design. The results of the study are as follows.<br/>First, the service learning course of the housing and interior design was developed as a six-week lecture based on the project model with the theme of housing for the socially disadvantaged. Second, this course was implemented with faculty, students, interior designers, and service recipients to engage in activities to improve the educational environment of local child centers. Next, students engaged in the service learning course and continuously conducted reflection activities to enhance the effectiveness of learning. In reflection activities, students assessed that self-directed capabilities increased as has employing the coordination and applicability to meet identified community needs. Finally, faculty, students, and experts (including institutional experts and supervising departments) evaluated course practice and educational outcomes. Experts assessed that the course clarified course objectives, utilized various learning strategies, and showed that the structural reflection mode of learners and professors was overwhelmingly positive.<br/>The results indicated that service-learning courses enable students to integrate academic study with social work to better understand course content through direct engagements in experience learning. Furthermore, students are empowered by participation in public services that benefit service clients and consultants as students take more personal responsibility for learning.

Abstract:
Like all institutions across North America, The University of Alberta Library has experienced dramatic impacts on our services and collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students at our large research institution have historically relied heavily on the Library’s extensive reserve collection of textbooks and other required course materials, the lending of which was suddenly suspended during a mid-term emergency closure. This column will highlight our team-based approach to aggressively promoting OER to our campus community: from engaging public service desk staff in new roles as their work suddenly shifted, strategizing with our collections team on identifying high impact courses, and establishing a communications approach with librarians. We will discuss how our “by-the-seat-of-our-pants” initial approach has evolved into a functional team with a diverse set of strengths, and a responsive workflow that incorporates OER services as an integrated component of existing library processes.

Full text
Abstract:
Health literacy courses for health professionals have emerged in response to health professionals’ perceived lack of understanding of health literacy issues, and their failure to routinely adopt health literacy practices. Since 2013 in Victoria, Australia, the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health has delivered an annual health literacy demonstration training course that it developed. Course development and delivery partners included HealthWest Partnership and cohealth. The courses are designed to develop the health literacy knowledge, skills and organisational capacity of the health and community services sector in the western metropolitan region of Melbourne. This study presents key learnings from evaluation data from three health literacy courses using Wenger’s professional educational learning design framework. The framework has three educational learning architecture components (engagement, imagination and alignment) and four educational learning architecture dimensions (participation, emergent, local/global, identification). Participatory realist evaluation approaches and qualitative methods were used. The evaluations revealed that the health literacy courses are developing leadership in health literacy, building partnerships among course participants, developing health literacy workforce knowledge and skills, developing ways to use and apply health literacy resources and are serving as a catalyst for building organisational infrastructure. Although the courses were not explicitly developed or implemented using Wenger’s educational learning design pedagogic features, the course structure (i.e. facilitation role of course coordinators, providing safe learning environments, encouraging small group work amongst participants, requiring participants to conduct mini-projects and sponsor organisation buy-in) provided opportunities for engagement, imagination and alignment. Wenger’s educational learning design framework can inform the design of future key pedagogic features of health literacy courses. What is known about the topic? Health professionals are increasingly participating in health literacy professional development courses. What does this paper add? This paper provides key lessons for designing health literacy professional development courses by reflecting upon Wenger’s professional educational learning design framework. What are the implications for practitioners? To ensure health professionals are receiving evidence-informed health literacy professional education, we encourage future health literacy courses be designed, implemented and evaluated using existing professional educational learning design frameworks.

Abstract:
Lack of resources has been a major restriction on the development of mental health services. However, even with the resources currently available there are insufficient numbers of trained medical, nursing, occupational therapy, psychology and social work staff to maintain services to adequate levels in many areas. This seriously interferes with provision of services, especially in acute wards but also in other areas. It certainly restricts developments and the use of skills attained through training (e.g. from THORN psychosocial intervention courses (Gournay & Birley, 1998)). The introduction of crisis resolution and early intervention teams, as described in the NHS Implementation Guide (Department of Health, 2001a), looks likely to simply deprive in-patient wards and community teams of staff, making the new teams ineffective through lack of core services. This will occur directly by recruitment of staff from them, or competitively through taking new entrants from nursing and social work programmes. Solutions proposed have included increasing numbers of support workers and administration staff; recruitment from abroad; or increased delegation of tasks, but there remains a need for more appropriately-trained professional staff.

Abstract:
Following many battles, Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT) is gradually evolving towards professionalisation. Wherever it is practiced, common issues have been identified: defining the profession, providing interpreting services for rare or minority languages, educating stakeholders, moving from training to education, and last but not least interpreting and translation quality. The lack of funding for PSIT courses within the current financial context is forcing stakeholders to work differently. The community of practice model can help PSIT stakeholders share resources and knowledge beyond the traditional boundaries set by courses, schools or countries. New technologies such as virtual conference tools and shared repositories are the essential “missing link” towards the progress of PSIT education. PSIT stakeholders need to join forces and pool efforts towards a constructive and innovative dialogue that would enhance the profession. Some forms of PSIT, such as legal interpreting and translation, have already broken barriers and gained professional recognition. However, PSIT should include all forms of PSIT contexts, including the medical or local government. Finally, once fully defined, PSIT and conference interpreting for spoken and sign languages could finally come together under the Interpreting profession umbrella. This is the achievable ultimate aim when working as communities of practice, small or large, language specific or generic, face to face or virtual.

Abstract:
Course and Training Institute is a training institution that belongs to the type of non-formal education. The course is a teaching and learning activity just like a school. Many courses and training are held by the community in order to serve students who are unskilled, unemployed or out of work. The current era of disruption has encouraged and even "forced" the digitalization of the education system. In this case, educational institutions are required to immediately innovate from conventional learning models (face to face) to online learning models. Currently, there are many online course and training services that can be accessed via the service provider's web/page. This service provider is not an educational unit. This is a challenge as well as a threat for Course and Training Institutions that do not immediately innovate both in program services and learning patterns. The end result of developing this application, students can register online via smart phones to view the LKP profile which contains addresses, telephone numbers, distance from home to location points, types of programs offered along with the costs of each type of course. LAO-Kursus is one of the registration system innovations that integrates educational services with information and communication technology. The results of this innovation have been validated by the validation team, practical according to the instructor, and effectively used by students. LAO-Course can be downloaded on google playstore.

Abstract The Pandemic changed how community colleges prepare the next generation of healthcare workers, and they are slowly adjusting to remain relevant in the current environment. How community colleges train their students will determine how well their communities will be cared for, which is why this topic is important. Some of the strategies implemented to fulfill the East Los Angeles’ College (ELAC) workforce demands following COVID are: aligning basics skills with some of the courses; providing career counseling, including mock interviews; opportunities to branch out and transfer in two years; connecting students with services to address their basic needs including mental health. Faculty are also required to stay current, and they need support from their local Districts and national collaborators. Some completed specialized training in humanizing curriculum and transforming faculty learning programs to improve undergraduate STEM faculty’s instructional practice. Moreover, the ELAC faculty felt that developing a humanities course tailored to Health and Human Services could be a great start to connect current needs with our academic programming. Faculty are revising and collecting content to address recent changes impacting our society and how we operate in the fast-changing work environment. After the Pandemic, the use of technology is more common and accepted. This change facilitates interactions, and this is a contributing factor to the program development process. For example, the advisory questionnaire is now available electronically, and therefore expecting more participation. Faculty have more variety and options for training to improve content development and delivery strategies.

Abstract:
Pharmaceutical education in Brazil undergoes structuring in the requirement to train professionals working in health care, providing pharmaceutical services, in contact with the patient and the community. To meet this new demand for education, an expansion of higher education arises that increasingly requires the presence of qualified teachers and in a constant process of updating. Competency-based teaching is the strategy applied to meet this demand, based on a document that gathers information on the main guiding competencies in pharmaceutical training. In view of this, the aim of this study was to develop and validate a competency matrix for pharmacy courses. For that a qualitative study was carried out with interviews seeking the opinion and experiences of teachers who work in pharmacy courses in the most different areas that generated a preliminary skills matrix, sent for evaluation by teachers in the pharmacy course in several regions of Brazil, using the Delphi method in two rounds, with a five-point Likert scale. 86 competences were obtained grouped in seven thematic domains, observing the teachers' consensus in face of the needs of the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are essential for the training of the pharmacist.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>In this contribution we provide an assessment of an international MOOC that was designed specifically for professionals in employment services and career guidance. The six-week course was implemented in the context of a wider spanning project on the study of professional identity transformations and was building on the experience of smaller courses provided in closed organizational settings. By opening up the course and transferring it into a MOOC format, almost 90 professionals from around 20 countries were able to share their work experiences and discuss challenges in their daily work related to demographic change, digitalization and organizational change. Amongst the most active contributors were those participants, who were confronted with an increasing isolation at work: being either placed in remote areas, part of a distributed team or a “functional” island. For them, learning from and with others as part of an online community, becomes increasingly important, as reflected by the participants’ feedback and their comments during the course. The analysis clearly stresses the importance of the exchange of experiences with colleagues and peers. While tutor input was also appreciated, participants especially appreciate the learning from their peers. A MOOC or online community can serve an important role in collaborative reflection and social learning. Given this experience, MOOCs could be offered specifically for certain professions where people work in isolation, either in geographical terms or in terms of the topics they are covering. </span></p></div></div></div>

This Community Service activity aims to encourage the region as a partnership model for Higher Education to impact community welfare through community partnership-based Master Plan design assistance and services. The method used to achieve this goal is problem-solving through identifying village potentials carried out by universities to provide design services. The steps include coordinating with the OPD through the Bantul Regency Tourism Office, surveying locations, and formulating a design for identifying potentials that are expected to become icons and tourist destinations for the Gilangharjo village area in Kapanewon Pandak. It is hoped that the activity plans prepared in the Community Service for lecturers and Student Practical Work courses are aligned with the MBKM for students and help accelerate the achievement of the Bantul Regency RPJM, especially for the Gilangharjo Kapanewon Pandak Village area. The outputs of the Community Service activities in Gilangharjo Village are identification or pre-designed albums and scientific articles in the Community Service journal. The focus of this activity is to solve the problem of identifying village potential so that it has a tourist attraction and improves the appearance of the environment and accommodates the socio-cultural values of the community. The activities that will be carried out are outer space design, which needs to be organized. This activity will also produce a picture album/identification of village potential that involves students as a form of MBKM partnering with the Tourism Office and Gilangharjo Village

Abstract The vision of the Michigan state unit on aging is for residents to live well and thrive as they age. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the existing problem of older adult social isolation. Social engagement and community involvement are keys to healthy aging. Combining state resources with the GetSetUp virtual community allowed for statewide connections and extended resources, creating an almost around-the-clock virtual senior center. Through customized courses the state was able to offer vaccine navigation sign-up classes, among other classes, to help older adults interact with essential health and aging services. As Michigan continues to work to address health equity and social determinants of health beyond the pandemic, technology designed specifically for older adults is an important component of programmatic offerings. It also allows for a public-private partnership opportunity to support older adults as they age.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review evidence about the role of education in supporting ex-service personnel to move to social care work with older people. Social care has long-standing, well-recognised problems of staff recruitment and retention in many jurisdictions. Within ageing societies, the need for more social care staff is predicted to rise. Therefore, policy makers and employers are exploring if there are untapped sources of potential employees. Some ex-service personnel may be interested in exploring a move to social care work with older people but may need to gain additional qualifications. Design/methodology/approach Databases and grey literature were searched systematically to provide an overview of the evidence on this topic. Six articles were included in the review. Findings A narrative analysis revealed two themes: preparing ex-service personnel for enrolment onto health and social care programmes, and supporting ex-service personnel during health and social care programmes. Research limitations/implications This review was confined to English language studies published between 2008 and 2018. Few mentioned specific user or client groups. Originality/value This review identified evidence gaps relating to whether the skills, education, training and experience gained in the armed services are transferable to civilian social care work with older people; the types of support which are offered to ex-service personnel who are interested in completing qualifications necessary for social care roles and the views of ex-service personnel about their experiences of completing educational courses to facilitate a transition into social care work with older people.

Abstract:
Abstract Respite care is an important service to address caregivers' stress and fatigue when caring for a person with dementia (PWD). YouthCare is a non-medical, at-home, intergenerational respite care program that partners trained student volunteers with PWDs. The Family Caregiver Survey was created and distributed to caregivers of PWDs in Los Angeles to better understand interactions with the community and its caregiver services. The survey assesses caregivers’ demographics, daily activities, mental health, and the type of respite support needed. The survey findings (n=47) show that 53.2% of caregivers are 54 and older and 83% females. 40.4% of the caregivers listened to the radio primarily in the morning while 61.7% watched television in the afternoon to evening time. For transportation of PWDs to and from destinations, 78.3% of caregivers reported using their own vehicles. In regards to their mental health, 61.7% of the caregivers stated that they felt tired and unmotivated to complete daily activities. When asked why they sought respite services, 40% stated that they were overwhelmed by the responsibilities in addition to their own work. The groups that primarily support caregivers are family and professional respite services. Findings indicate that caregivers are most likely to trust resource recommendations from family and friends. Similar surveys should be administered in other cities and in rural locations to improve the generalizability of our findings.

Abstract:
An authentic assessment is expected to have a positive impact on students' learning and motivation. One strategy to provide practical assessment for authentic tasks is by engaging the students to the community where they are familiar and comfortable. The students� involvement in community services is able to effectively provide vibrant existence information for improving the sense of responsibility among students before they become part of the community. However, evidence from the community services� activities complicated the assessment process where many documents need to be checked and verified. In our work, we designed an online authentic assessment framework of students� involvement in the community activities in terms of the affective domain. The affective domain addresses the grasp of attitudes and values that fuels teaching and learning (T&L) processes. Our assessment tool aims to provide a clear assessment guideline to evaluate the students� ability on analyzing real issues. It also makes the assessment process easier where the evaluation materials can be assembled, previewed, edited and published instantly through online. We hope that the incorporation of student involvement in community services into course assessment shall make the learning process more inspiring.

Abstract:
Background: Community health workers (CHWs) are known as the ‘gate keepers’ of good health in the community. Being the first contact with the patients at the community level, they can help improve the maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) indicators if they are well motivated to conduct their day-to-day work. At the same time, MNCH indicators are negatively affected by hard-to-reach health facilities and cultural factors thus the CHWs can help improve the health status in this category. Methods: The study utilized a quasi-experimental study design with an intervention and a control site in both Lamu West and Lamu East Sub Counties. Purposive sampling used to select study population and study site. Study period was (August 2018-March 2022). Mixed methods approach was used with both quantitative and qualitative methodologies of data collection to enable data triangulation. Questionnaires were used to collect data from CHWs, focused group discussions with caregivers and In-depth Interviews conducted with key informants from the Ministry of Health- Lamu County and the implementing partner-PharmAccess. Results: The study established that 78% of the CHWs were selected by the community members. Most of the CHWs in the intervention site had attended other trainings after the initial capacity development program, had at least one supervision in the last month preceding evaluation, were satisfied with the community and county appreciation. The difference between control and intervention site had a statistical significance (p<0.05) for report writing during home visits, cross-referencing of reports before submission, attendance of refresher courses, loss of interest to work as a CHW and referral of patients to link facilities. Conclusions: CHWs need motivation in delivering their services. This can be done in form of incentives (both monitory and non-monitory), refresher trainings and supportive supervision.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on a partnership agreement between the Clarence Community Health Centre in the Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services and the Faculty of Health Science (Nursing, Medicine and Pharmacy) at the University of Tasmania. The aim of the partnership is to develop opportunities for collaboration between the health disciplines and to apply them to the clinical environment, with emphasis on health assessment and care coordination. Clarence is one of two Community Health Centres in Tasmania that provide salaried GP services. Clarence also provides nursing (both Centre-based and in the community), child health, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, speech therapy, social work, and will soon incorporate dental health and mental health services. Trainee health workers are part of this multidisciplinary team. Students spend time with each of the service areas as a part of a structured program in their course, regardless of their area of training. Rural outreach is an important part of the work and training program at Clarence and the Centre is a hub site for Telehealth services. Telehealth enables GPs at Clarence to provide additional support to rural sites. Students (undergraduate and postgraduate) learn about the role of information technology in linking primary health care services through active experience in interdisciplinary teams.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is first, to provide a model for the development, and implementation of a university developed, community-based agency that incorporates service-learning projects infused throughout the social work curriculum. The inspiration for the community-based agency was grounded in Mezirow’s (1978) theory of transformational learning and designed to provide social services to underserved populations and a training ground for future social workers. Second, we examine the transformational effects of students engaged in a competency-based, service-learning course at the agency, Methods of Social Work Practice. Using Clark’s (1991) adaptation of Mezirow’s theory of transformation, results indicate students experienced three dimensions (psychological, convictional, and behavioral) of transformational learning while engaged in the course and provide evidence that service-learning is directly related to the developmental process of social work students.

Abstract:
Health Extension Workers are the health service providers to the community in delivering integrated preventive, promotive and basic curative health services. Hitherto no studies have been carried out in Lim ‘at T’abya health post focusing on the role of health extension workers. Thus the researcher has randomly selected 263 participants in order to achieve the intended objectives of the study. The researcher used both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The result of the study identified the major Health Extension Program services which are delivered by Health Extension Workers in the health post to seek malaria treatment, child immunization and Antenatal Care followed by Postnatal Care, family planning, referral for delivery, diarrhea treatment and health education. The challenges of Health Extension Workers hindering their performance for the unsuccessful health service provision identified as strong societal cultural beliefs, remoteness, poor relation with supervisors, communication system and road construction, low remuneration, lack of refresher courses and improper attention by Qebelle administrators to health agendas. Attitude of community towards Health Extension Workers communication skill, quality of service provision and social behaviors is over all positive but the following up of referred patients and the skill to diagnosing community health problems that Health Extension Workers need to work sensitively which are answered negatively by the respondents. To increase community’s health post utilization, health posts should be equipped with minimum essential medical equipment with particular focus on malaria treatments, family planning, deliver, treatment of common illnesses and immunization services in the study area.Int.

Abstract:
The article deals with the film work of the Samara Provincial Community of Consumer Cooperatives in 1926–1928. The relevance of the research topic lies in the fact that, using the example of the activities of the regional cooperative union for film services to the population, it is possible to identify social factors and mechanisms of sociocultural dynamics. As a source, the materials of the magazines «Sower of Truth» of the Samara Provincial Community of Consumer Cooperatives and «Cooperative Way» of the Middle Volga Regional and District Union of Consumer Cooperatives were used. The magazines published announcements of films, announcements about the route of film shifts, instructors’ reports on film flights, and reviews from viewers. The main scientific problem is to study the ways of organizing cinema services and the results of the work of cooperative movements of the Samara Provincial Union of Consumer Cooperatives. The research methodology is based on the theory of communication. For an objective quantitative analysis of the content of communication, content analysis is used. Narrative, historical-genetic, historical-comparative, typological methods of scientific knowledge were also used. In the course of the study, it was possible to find out that the Samara cooperators used a competent strategy to attract viewers, relying on active shareholders who fully paid their share contributions, subscribers of the Sower of Truth magazine. During film screenings, before and after the films were shown, new members of the cooperatives and subscribers of the Sower of Truth magazine were recruited, and share contributions were accepted. This policy of the Gubernia Union provided a return on the rental of tapes and film flights. The organization of movie nights was linked to various socio-political and cooperative educational campaigns.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: The Ministerial Advisory Committee Report on a Māori Perspective for the New Zealand Department of Social Welfare (1986) offers an historic reference point from which to examine education and training reforms initiated at Aotearoa New Zealand’s oldest school of social work and designed to better address the needs and aspirations of Māori and those working with Māori. Pūao-te-Ata-tū is an internationally unique example of social research facilitated by distinguished Māori leaders and senior government officials using indigenous methods. The Vice Chancellor of Victoria University was approached in 1986 along with its new Professor of Social Work about becoming drivers of Pūao-te-Ata-tū Recommendation 10(c) to “assess the extent to which tertiary social work courses are meeting cultural needs for those public servants seconded as students to the courses”. The early passing of alumnus- Elder John Rangihau, shortly after Pūao-te-Ata-tū was published, left a legacy—acknowledged posthumously by the Council of Victoria University in 1989—when a senior Te Rangihau Scholar teaching and research position was established with Ngāi Tūhoe. A decade of reform in social work education and research at Victoria University saw important movement towards supporting and promoting Māori perspectives in the delivery of community social services in three New Zealand regions. IMPLICATIONS: Five lessons learned about partnerships from the Victoria University experience are highlighted as issues that promote cultural responsiveness in support of Māori whānau, tamariki and rangatahi. The Wellington programme closed at the start of the new millennium without addressing the VUW Council relationship with Ngāi Tūhoe, highlighting broken promises.

Abstract:
To graduate, pharmacy technician students write a project in their third year. They choose between six elective courses, and work with a subject related to their education and everyday practice at community or hospital pharmacies. In this article, we report the mapping of third-year project themes and provide an overview of the challenges that COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have had on completing the projects. On the basis of all project titles, a list of themes was generated and described before all projects were allocated to one of the themes. Challenges experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic were investigated from an analytical workshop where supervisors discussed their experience with supervising students throughout the completion of the projects. In total, 140 projects were included and thematised into eight themes: advanced pharmacy services, digital patient support, organisation and collaboration, handling of medicine, automated dose dispensing, medication counselling in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, and others, covering all six elective courses. The COVID-19 pandemic affected students’ possibilities to collect data from either physical interviews or observations. The challenges prompted both constructive and creative discussions between students and supervisors to find ways to complete the projects, and required flexibility from all those involved: students, supervisors, community pharmacies, and hospital pharmacies. In conclusion, all students managed to complete their third-year project at a similar level of achievement statistically compared to average grades for the previous six years (2016–2020).

Abstract:
Extension actions and projects can help maintain the relationship between the university and society, in order to meet the needs of the external community, maintaining connections with social demands, public policies and diverse social movements in order to reduce inequalities and promote social inclusion. The project UFS de Braços Abertos, which is linked to the course in Tourism, is one such project. It offers guided tours for visiting elementary and high school students to the university campus, in order to present the university, its courses, the services offered, and the research and extension projects developed, creating a closer relationship between higher education and basic education. Based on this premise, this work analyzes the relationship between tourism, university extension and basic education, through the guided tours conducted as part of the UFS de Braços Abertos project, focusing on specifically on the participation of the Executive Secretarial course. In terms of approach to the problem, this study used qualitative research. The methodological procedures adopted were bibliographic research, and interviews with the head of the Executive Secretarial department and students of the course. We also sought to identify the perceptions of lecturers of the Executive Secretarial course in relation to the importance of the project, and the visits by school students to the University. The project helps to demystify the widely held perception, among students in basic education, that attending a federal university is a distant reality. The school students often arrive with this view, but after the visit, they are able to understand more how this universe works, and can dream of applying for place at university when they leave school. The report of experience presented clearly shows the important role of the UFS de Braços Abertos project, not only for the school students who may enter the university in the future, but also for students of the Tourism and Executive Secretarial courses, as it gives them an opportunity to promote and publicize the courses, stimulating the curiosity of the visiting students and showing them more about the respective professions, which can help them make future career choices.

Abstract Many Latino older adults delay seeking help for symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease or Related Dementia (ADRD) due to substantial barriers to services. Community-based Natural helpers (NHs) can increase health-related knowledge and can serve as full partners in health education and promotion. This paper presents the process and product of the first phase of a community-based participatory research study to develop a culturally-tailored intervention increasing knowledge about ADRD and services in East Harlem, NY. We describe the results of the initial survey and development of El Barrio SHARE, an intervention that recruits and trains community residents to provide information and referrals about dementia, tapping into natural community networks of people (hairdressers, bodega clerks, mail carriers) who interact with and have longstanding relationships with older adults in the course of their work. NHs are well-positioned to observe and detect problems, and can link elders to relevant, culturally-sensitive resources, accessible support, and treatment.

Abstract:
Objectives Our aim was to evaluate whether the involvement of health care managers in research projects improves the quality and relevance of research, and whether collaboration builds capacity in the managerial community. Methods The NIHR Service Delivery and Organization Management Fellowship programme supports the direct involvement of health care managers in research projects. Data were collected from face-to-face interviews with management fellows and chief investigators of research projects at 10 case study sites. Data were analysed thematically using an adapted Kirkpatrick framework for programme evaluation. Results Management fellows improved the relevance and quality of research through enhancing its validity, efficiency and credibility. This was achieved by: using their contextual understanding to enable and support access and recruitment participants, data collection tools, processes and analysis; supporting dissemination activities; and undertaking additional work which was complementary to the main project. Capacity was developed through formal courses and exposure to new knowledge, ideas and practices. Factors found to enable or impede improvements in research included management fellows' knowledge and experience of the NHS, their background and personal characteristics, mutual respect, timing and flexibility. Consequences were not always predictable. Costs for management fellows included foregone opportunities, specifically for promoted posts. Researchers reported time-costs associated with administering the fellowship. Conclusions Collaborations between managers and researchers can improve research relevance and quality and research capacity development. Factors critical to success relate to the fit between the project and the management fellow and how clearly the purpose is understood.

AbstractAimsRecovery Colleges are opening internationally. The evaluation focus has been on outcomes for Recovery College students who use mental health services. However, benefits may also arise for: staff who attend or co-deliver courses; the mental health and social care service hosting the Recovery College; and wider society. A theory-based change model characterising how Recovery Colleges impact at these higher levels is needed for formal evaluation of their impact, and to inform future Recovery College development. The aim of this study was to develop a stratified theory identifying candidate mechanisms of action and outcomes (impact) for Recovery Colleges at staff, services and societal levels.MethodsInductive thematic analysis of 44 publications identified in a systematised review was supplemented by collaborative analysis involving a lived experience advisory panel to develop a preliminary theoretical framework. This was refined through semi-structured interviews with 33 Recovery College stakeholders (service user students, peer/non-peer trainers, managers, community partners, clinicians) in three sites in England.ResultsCandidate mechanisms of action and outcomes were identified at staff, services and societal levels. At the staff level, experiencing new relationships may change attitudes and associated professional practice. Identified outcomes for staff included: experiencing and valuing co-production; changed perceptions of service users; and increased passion and job motivation. At the services level, Recovery Colleges often develop somewhat separately from their host system, reducing the reach of the college into the host organisation but allowing development of an alternative culture giving experiential learning opportunities to staff around co-production and the role of a peer workforce. At the societal level, partnering with community-based agencies gave other members of the public opportunities for learning alongside people with mental health problems and enabled community agencies to work with people they might not have otherwise. Recovery Colleges also gave opportunities to beneficially impact on community attitudes.ConclusionsThis study is the first to characterise the mechanisms of action and impact of Recovery Colleges on mental health staff, mental health and social care services, and wider society. The findings suggest that a certain distance is needed in the relationship between the Recovery College and its host organisation if a genuine cultural alternative is to be created. Different strategies are needed depending on what level of impact is intended, and this study can inform decision-making about mechanisms to prioritise. Future research into Recovery Colleges should include contextual evaluation of these higher level impacts, and investigate effectiveness and harms.

Thus, the South Jakarta City Administration of Health Sub-Department is required to be able to show quality performance that is in accordance with community expectations and in line with the development of medical science and technology. To be able to improve good performance and at the same time meet the demands of the community, each employee must have adequate capabilities in accordance with their respective fields of duty. In other words, every employee, both medical (doctors), paramedics (midwives/nurses) and administrative personnel must have. by employees or human resources who have competence.

ABSTRACT Introduction The Centro Universitário de Votuporanga (UNIFEV) medicine course was implemented in 2012 according to the 2001 National Curricular Guidelines for Undergraduate Medical Courses. The practical module of Community Service Education Integration is the curricular unit that places students into Primary Health Care (PHC) scenarios from the first period of the course until the internship period, breaking with the traditional model of hospital-centered training, which is segmented into specialties. The module of medical skills and attitudes training also leads the student, in some cases, to PHC services, but with focus on the basic clinical procedures in controlled scenarios, which may be those from typical clinical practice, simulations or even those performed in laboratories. During internship, the student continues in PHC as an intern in general, family and community medicine. In this context, the integration of community-education-service plays a major role in the transformations undergone in undergraduate training in health, which are also aimed at modifying the current healthcare model. Objectives To understand the perception of professionals from the Family Health Care Units regarding medical student work placement and to interpret the results of this integration as far as the service, the community and the medical training are concerned. Methodology Qualitative research carried out with health professionals who work in three Family Health Care Units of Votuporanga, São Paulo, Brazil. They were invited to participate in focus groups to express their opinions about thought-provoking questions. The recorded material was transcribed, organized and analyzed according to Bardin’s content analysis, which allowed categories of analysis to emerge based on what the participants said. Results and discussion: The opinions that have emerged allow to identify the following aspects: teaching-service-community integration contributes to medical education; student presence promotes team integration and self-learning and promotes the work process; student integration has impact on the community. Among the student’s contributions, participants highlighted the academic and health care reflective practices, health education actions and complementary activities that support the health team in solving local problems. Participants also identified some situations of difficulty, such as: students in the early periods of the course need to acquire affective domains for an adequate professional posture at PHC units; the embarrassment of patients in the medical consultation with the presence of students; and the short length of stay of the students for the necessary bond building. Conclusion For PHC professionals, the inclusion of students in these scenarios contributes to the development of the service, medical training and community support. Due to the solidary relations existing between the educational institution and the PHC management, this research may contribute to promote the necessary adaptations and prepare the community and professionals for the presence of students in PHC.

Abstract:
Abstract The need for health education regarding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), specifically designed for Latinos, has been well-documented. Many Latino older adults and their families delay seeking formal help for ADRD symptoms due to lack of information and access to culturally sensitive services. This paper presents preliminary findings of community-based participatory research to develop El Barrio SHARE, a culturally-tailored intervention tapping natural helpers (NHs) to address a need identified by community members in East Harlem, NY. It trains people who often interact with elders in the course of their work (e.g., hairdressers, bodega clerks), and are well-positioned to observe and detect ADRD-related problems and potentially link elders to relevant services. Findings from a process evaluation developing the 10-module NH training suggest that (a) participants seek information that debunks myths and stigma surrounding ADRD, and (b) the need for culturally-tailored, participant-centered interventions in marginalized communities is critical.

Abstract More than one third of psychologists report frequently treating older adults, while only 1% consider themselves geropsychologists. Continuing education opportunities in geropsychology have historically been scant, with even fewer opportunities for expert case consultation in work with older adults. To identify interest in geropsychology consultation, the Building Bridges Post-Licensure (BBPL) group conducted an informal survey of licensed psychologists via listservs. Results among 80 respondents indicated strong interest in group consultation regarding foundational knowledge, assessment, and intervention. This presentation will describe the BBPL group's efforts to examine effective models of consultation, develop a consultation model for geropsychology, and partner with both professional and community-based organizations to develop the infrastructure for geropsychology consultation.

Abstract As part of a larger study examining the social determinants of health, the current analysis focuses on 254 older and disabled, Medicare Advantage patients from 19 primary care clinics in Texas. The patients faced challenges such as depression, limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and dementia. They received a home-based, social work intervention to examine their needs, an individualized care plan was created, they were offered home and community-based services, and followed over a four-month period. The median age of the sample was 69 years, 71% were Hispanic/Latino, 80% had a high school education or less, and 76% had a monthly income of less than $1,361. A total of 823 needs were identified in these patients, and 1,126 service recommendations were made. Some needs required more than one service recommendation or vice versa. The most frequently identified needs involved food assistance (136 patients received 220 nutritional service recommendations), home modifications/housing (118 patients offered 159 services), and ADLs (115 patients, 147 services). During the four-month period, social workers reported that services related to food assistance met patient needs 61% of the time; 52% for home modifications/housing; and 75% for ADLs. Reasons for unmet needs included service applications still in process/waiting lists; services being unavailable (e.g., lack of mental health providers); and refusals by patients, and family/friends. Practice and policy implications include the possibility that four months is not enough time to fully address needs, and some patients may need more intensive assistance and motivation to apply for and access services

Abstract:
The teaching-service-community integration is an important strategy for achieving changes in the training of human resources in health, in order to train professionals with a profile to work in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS, as per its Portuguese acronym). This study analyzed how it occurs and what are the contributions of the teaching-service-community integration in the view of professors from the first to the seventh period of Medicine, Nursing and Dentistry programs at a university in northeastern Brazil. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. Data were collected using an interview form and analyzed with the help of SPSS software. The descriptive analysis of the data, the chi-square test and the calculation of the internal consistency of the evaluation scale were used. The study had the participation of 106 professors. Results show that practices were still predominantly performed in university clinics and hospitals, 76 (71.7%). Most professors, 59 (56.7%), consider the teaching-service-community interaction very important for the quality of training and recognize its importance in strengthening SUS, 89 (85.6%). Although there was resistance on the part of some professors to follow-up students in extramural services, most of them, 94 (89.5%), consider the role of professors as essential for changing health practices, especially professors in nursing and dentistry professors that carry out extramural practices (p < 0.01). Interdisciplinary practices were performed more frequently in the first two periods of the three courses and by the nursing course (p = 0.001). In turn, multiprofessional interaction predominates in the practical classes of the nursing course and practices held outside the university domain (p < 0.01). It is evident the need to institutionalize the teaching-service-community interaction, as well as to value initiatives that streamline and make teaching more flexible in multiprofessional and interdisciplinary activities, fundamental for the amendment of training in health.

Abstract:
The project “Social Point” deals in promoting integration of Mental Health Service recipients within contexts of social relationship, voluntary work and community activism. The project is still taking place in the district of Modena.AimsAssessment of the effectiveness of the project SP: production of a change in quality of life; development of purposeful relationships out of families and health services; development of Mental Health Service recipients’ awareness of being not only a user of the health service but also a resourceful person; change of method and approach within relationship between Mental Health and community and public services.MethodsAt the beginning and at the end of the integration courses (autumn/winter 2010 and after 6–8 months), both individuals and collectives, every Mental Health Service recipient was asked to fill in a form with socio-demographic characteristics and the WHOQOL-bref. A social network diagram was subsequently drawn.Expected resultsAt the end of the research (September 2010) joining courses directed to the development of social relationship is forecast to improve the quality of life of the recipients, to increment purposeful relationships and to strengthen empowerment of persons with mental disease by promoting a different project of life no more illness-based but resource-based.ConclusionThe study will provide evidences about the performance of the project with regard to the promotion of the social integration of citizens with mental disease in contexts, to the empowerment and to the promotion of processes of social.

Abstract:
Abstract Community-based social innovations (CBSI) for aging are programs, initiatives, and other structures that support healthy aging and aging in community in ways that complement traditional health and human service systems. This symposium features research on several manifestations of CBSIs in the US. The first paper orients to innovation among aging services agencies, drawing on data from local Councils on Aging in Massachusetts to examine variation in their levels of engagement with age-friendly community (AFC) work. Findings elucidate the importance of community context and organizational capacity for deepening involvement in AFC work over time. Addressing innovation within communities as a whole, the second paper applies social network analytic methods to examine the constellations of connections among AFC core teams and their key partners across nine localities in New Jersey. Focusing on housing, the third paper presents findings from an evaluation of a national demonstration program to enhance the capacity of service coordinators within senior housing communities. This paper implicates the important role of services staff in systems innovation. Finally, with attention to creating age-friendly communities, the fourth paper presents findings from a project in Ohio that equipped older adults with a tablet-based transportation “diary” app. The findings demonstrate ways in which this technology facilitated deeper insight on users’ experiences in terms of their mood, with implications for transit design and programs. Collectively, the studies make evident the importance of leveraging the tools of research alongside engaged partnerships to strengthen the knowledge base for continued innovation in community supports for aging.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse the development of a foundation degree, including a higher apprenticeship route, which enables learners to access both higher education (HE) and health and social care professional programmes. The underpinning rationale is the urgent workforce crisis in health and social care services. Design/methodology/approach The authors will review the multiple drivers which stimulated course development and the creation of a community of practice to ensure quality management. This case study illustrates the potential of a higher apprenticeship to enable both personal and professional development. Findings The paper provides insight into working with a number of further education colleges, how to ensure consistency in delivery and assessment and the strategies which contribute to quality assurance. This case study illustrates the potential of work-based learning to transform lives and to provide the workforce required by our public services. Practical implications This paper explores the lessons learnt from setting up a new collaborative partnership and the processes that need to be in place for success. Social implications The paper discusses the potential of widening access into HE, the positive impact on recruitment to professional courses and the long-term effect on the public service workforce. Originality/value The government is committed to the expansion of apprenticeship learning in health and social care. This paper shares the authors’ experience of working with a range of employers and education providers, the challenges and successes and recommendations for development.

Abstract:
Abstract Our words and the way we harness the power of them when advocating for age inclusive policies, like the Older Americans Act (OAA), matters. Since 1965 the OAA has supported our nation with funds to strengthen community social services. It currently authorizes a wide array of service programs through a national network of 56 state agencies on aging, 618 area agencies on aging, nearly 20,000 service providers, 281 Tribal organizations, and 1 Native Hawaiian organization representing 400 Tribes. In 2024, the OAA will be considered for reauthorization. We all have a stake in ensuring it is passed so we all have the infrastructure we require as we age. Join The National Center to Reframe Aging and the National Center on Elder Abuse, the leading organizations for effective framing, in this session to discuss the OAA as an example of how we can apply communication strategies in supporting reauthorization, review framing strategies to advance a more equitable story of aging in America and learn how to apply framing tools to your advocacy communications.

Abstract:
The SEEDLOC logic model demonstrates how to integrate core competencies, practice behaviors, and assignments in course syllabi with explicit input from faculty and students. The model requires community involvement as part of the assignments. Service learning is a by-product of this model's application in the course curriculum. We describe an example using the model to shape and justify assignments in a Vulnerable Populations course. This course uses active participation of baccalaureate social work students delivering essential services to a rural minority population. This process ensures fidelity to the Council on Social Work Education Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards, the competencies framework, and validating outcome measures of course assignments.

Abstract:
This case study highlights the partnership development between a large, urban, public, community-based behavioral health system and an academic program. Using principles of partnership building and facilitators that enhance partnership building, we describe the process of initiating, building, and sustaining the partnership. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) workforce development initiative was the primary catalyst for the partnership development. The public, community-based behavioral health system is located in an urban, medically underserved area and health care professional shortage area. The academic partner is a master in social work (MSW) program in Michigan. We assessed partnership development by using process and outcome measures that captured changes in the partnerships and in implementation of the HRSA workforce development grant. The goals of this partnership were to develop the infrastructure to support the training of MSW students, expand workforce skills in integrated behavioral health, and increase the number of MSW graduates who work with medically underserved populations. During 2018-2020, the partnership trained 70 field instructors, engaged 114 MSW students in HRSA field placements, and developed 35 community-based field sites (including 4 federally qualified health centers). The partnership provided training for field supervisors and for HRSA MSW students and developed new courses/trainings focusing on integrated behavioral health assessment/intervention practices, trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and telebehavioral health practices. Of 57 HRSA MSW graduates who responded to a postgraduation survey, 38 (66.7%) were employed in medically underserved, high-need/high-demand urban areas. Partnership sustainability was helped by formal agreements, regular communication, and a collaborative decision-making approach.

Abstract:
Abstract Direct care workers (DCWs), such as state-tested nurse aides, personal care aides, and home care aides are a critical component of the long-term services system. While there is consensus in both the research and practice community on the challenges faced, the plan for a long-term solution continues to be developed. The final paper of this symposium is based on a review of state and national initiatives and interviews with high-performing long-term services and support providers, and culminates into a tip sheet of practical strategies for providers who are seeking to recruit and retain DCWs. The tip sheet is organized in relation to the symposium theme of work culture, which includes elements of creating a welcoming and respectful work environment, employing a participative leadership model, and opportunities for DCWs to anonymously assess work culture. It also discusses staffing ratios that are critical to recruiting and retaining workers, as well as an examination of career ladders, mentorship opportunities, and strengthening training standards. DCW economic well-being (e.g., financial incentives such as wages, bonuses and benefits) and community impact are also explored. The priority of this section is to help providers gain insights on establishing a work culture that is more receptive to DCWs’ needs.
