Effect of COVID-19 Isolation on Nursing Student and Older Adult Interview Assignment

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The US population is aging. Young people may have ageist views that may deter them from careers working with older adults. Intergenerational teaching strategies in college courses offer opportunities for young and older people to interact. In a nursing course, 7 semi-structured interviews, discussion board content, and a synthesis project provide the framework for a sharing relationship to develop. The COVID-19 required alterations in the interview format, and understanding these changes from the elders' viewpoints were added to the interviews. This data identified 4 themes with positive and negative reactions.
