医疗保健的变化为研究、教育和实践领域的合作提供了前所未有的机会，以实现增进老年人及其照顾者福祉的共同目标。本文描述了一个名为“与家庭护理助理一起促进老年人健康”的试点项目如何产生协同的教育、研究和实践效果，从而提高个人和组织的能力。这项试点是与家庭护理助手的创新合作伙伴关系，旨在为现实生活中的公共家庭护理计划中的虚弱老年人提供适合的安全身体活动计划。干预和研究发生在老年人的家中，因此为研究团队和合作伙伴提供了难得的机会，让他们相互学习老年人生活背景下家庭护理的动态。共同学习对于教育、研究和实践的持续质量改进至关重要。我们建议设立“教学家居照顾”，以确保在老年学和老年医学方面持续进行共同学习。
Changes in health care provide unprecedented opportunities for collaboration across research, education, and practice for the common goal of enhancing the well-being of older adults and their caregivers. This article describes how a pilot project, “Promoting Seniors’ Health with Home Care Aides,” has synergistic education, research and practice effects that enhance individual and organizational capacities. This pilot is an innovative partnership with home care aides to deliver a safe physical activity program appropriate for frail seniors in a real-life public home care program. The intervention and research occur in older adults’ homes and thus provide rare opportunities for the research team and partners to learn from each other about dynamics of home care in older adults’ life contexts. Co-learning is essential for continuous quality improvement in education, research and practice. We propose to establish “Teaching Home Care” to ensure ongoing co-learning in gerontology and geriatrics.
