CORE--COGNITIVE /FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ERGONOMICS

认知/功能评估和人体工程学核心的目的是 使老年护理研究人员和科学家能够在其他领域 检查认知和功能状态和模式的学科 机构残疾(急性和长期护理)和 社区老年人居住和评估结果的具体措施 针对老年人的临床干预使用高度复杂、 最先进的多维运作方式。核心意志 还提供认知/功能评估的培训基础，并 美国麻省理工学院教职员工和研究生的生物仪器 老年护理硕士项目：农村健康 老年护理从业者计划，老龄研究博士生， 以及将实施研究利用项目的工作人员和 目前获得资助的研究项目中的数据收集者。参与者 将学习和实践评估技能，并进行自己的评估 使用核心资源进行研究，同时与其他学生和 工程学、物理治疗、休闲研究和医学学院 建立跨学科的培训和研究计划。

The purpose of the Cognitive/Functional Assessment and Ergonomics Core is to enable gerontological nurse researchers and scientists in other disciplines to examine cognitive and functional status and patterns of disability in both institutionalized (acute and long term care) and community dwelling elderly and to evaluate the outcomes of specific clinical interventions for older adults using a highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art multidimensional approach to functioning. The Core will also provide a training ground in cognitive/functional assessment and bioinstrumentation for faculty and graduate students from the College of Nursing's master's program in gerontological nursing, the Rural Health Geriatric Nurse Practitioner program, doctoral students in aging research, and staff who will be implementing research utilization projects and for data collectors in the currently funded research projects. Participants will learn and practice assessment skills as well as conduct their own research using Core resources, while working with other students and faculty in engineering, physical therapy, leisure studies, and medicine to establish interdisciplinary programs of training and research.
