DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Only 5 percent or less of social workers receive specialized training in gerontology in their educational programs. As a result, continuing education is the primary source of specialty training in geriatric care for BSW and MSW practitioners and the principal venue in which to develop required knowledge and practice skills to work with older adults. To address a need for evidence-based continuing education, NERI has partnered with the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) at Boston University to develop and test a training program, the Working with Older Adults Program, for practicing social workers that maximizes the transfer of practice skills, employs proven techniques of professional education, and can be delivered conveniently and cost-efficiently in the workplace. The program takes an evidence-based, client-centered approach to working with older adults, will be readily incorporated into existing training, and accessible to schools of social work, community-based agencies, and individual practitioners. Consistent with evidence from educational research on how adults learn new skills, a major objective of the program will be to model appropriate assessment and communication skills through the use of professional-quality videotaped dramatic vignettes. The Aims of Phase I included: 1) development of a detailed content outline for the series of videos in the full program; 2) development of a script treatment for the prototype video and the content for the associated Trainer's Guide; 3) production of the prototype video and related sections of the Trainer's Guide; 4) assessment of the feasibility of the training program; 5) development of the Phase II production schedule; and 6) development of a commercialization plan. These Phase I Aims were achieved. Importantly, the Phase I evaluation established the feasibility of the program and the testing methodology. The Aims of Phase II are: 1) development of full content for the entire program (8 modules); 2) development of script treatments for eight videos and the associated content for the Trainer's Guide; 3) production of the videos and related sections of the Trainer's Guide; 4) evaluation of the program's effectiveness; and 5) dissemination of the CE program in collaboration with the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) at Boston University. The program will be marketed as a CE product for social workers primarily through the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) at Boston University PROJECT NARRATIVE: Despite the increasing population of older adults in this country, only 5 percent or less of social workers receive specialized training in gerontology in their educational programs. Therefore, continuing education is the primary source of specialty training in geriatric care for BSW and MSW practitioners. The Working with Older Adults Program will take an evidence-based, client-centered approach to working with older adults, presented through a series of videos that can be included in a small-group training format or for individual use.

描述（由申请人提供）：只有 5% 或更少的社会工作者在其教育计划中接受过老年学专门培训。因此，继续教育是 BSW 和 MSW 从业者老年护理专业培训的主要来源，也是培养老年人工作所需知识和实践技能的主要场所。为了满足循证继续教育的需求，NERI 与波士顿大学老年社会工作研究所 (IGSW) 合作，为执业社会工作者开发和测试培训计划，即老年人工作计划，该计划最大限度地传授实践技能，采用经过验证的专业教育技术，并且可以在工作场所方便且经济高效地提供。该计划采用以证据为基础、以客户为中心的方法来与老年人合作，将很容易纳入现有的培训，并可供社会工作学校、社区机构和个人从业者使用。与关于成年人如何学习新技能的教育研究的证据一致，该计划的一个主要目标是通过使用专业质量的录像戏剧片段来模拟适当的评估和沟通技巧。第一阶段的目标包括：1）为完整节目中的系列视频制定详细的内容大纲； 2) 为原型视频和相关培训师指南的内容开发脚本处理； 3）制作原型视频和培训师指南的相关部分； 4）评估培训方案的可行性； 5）制定二期生产计划； 6) 制定商业化计划。这些第一阶段的目标已经实现。重要的是，第一阶段评估确定了该计划和测试方法的可行性。第二阶段的目标是：1）开发整个项目的全部内容（8个模块）； 2) 为培训师指南的八个视频和相关内容开发脚本处理； 3) 制作培训师指南的视频和相关部分； 4）评估方案的有效性； 5) 与波士顿大学老年社会工作研究所 (IGSW) 合作传播 CE 计划。该计划将主要通过波士顿大学老年社会工作研究所 (IGSW) 作为面向社会工作者的 CE 产品进行营销。 项目叙述：尽管这个国家的老年人口不断增加，但只有 5% 或更少的社会工作者在其教育计划中接受了老年学专门培训。因此，继续教育是 BSW 和 MSW 从业人员老年护理专业培训的主要来源。与老年人一起工作计划将采取以证据为基础、以客户为中心的方法与老年人一起工作，通过一系列视频呈现，这些视频可以包含在小组培训形式中或供个人使用。
