“…Results from surveys conducted across UK medical schools indicated minimal coverage of sleep health in UK medical curricula, resulting in lower competencies in sleep disorder diagnosis and management among medical health professionals, with little change over time (Romiszewski et al, 2020 ; Stores & Crawford, 1998 ). Health education research showcases that well‐designed educational interventions have the ability to improve clinician knowledge and patient health outcomes in both undergraduate nursing students and clinical nurse practitioners (Wu et al, 2018 ; Yan et al, 2022 ). Further, another study that conducted targeted training for nurses also demonstrated higher competence in sleep health management post training (Horii et al, 2021 ).…”

Aims To explore community nurses sleep health practices and their perspectives on improving sleep health care provision. Design An exploratory study utilizing the qualitative description methodology. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with community nurses from May 2019 – October 2021. Interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed, and subjected to an inductive thematic analysis using a constructivist–interpretive paradigm. Results Twenty‐three Australian community nurses were interviewed. Participants frequently encountered sleep disturbances/disorders in their patients. Data analysis yielded three main themes: (1) Sleep health in the community serviced, (2) sleep health awareness and management, and (3) community nurses' A to Z of improving sleep health. The most common sleep disorder presentations were insomnia and sleep apnea. Although most community sleep apnea cases were appropriately managed, insomnia was often mismanaged. Participants described their sleep health knowledge as deficient, with the majority advocating for increased sleep‐related education tailored to their profession. Other important factors needed for improving sleep health provision were standardized patient treatment/referral pathways, increased interprofessional collaboration, and sufficient time for patient consults. Conclusion Community nurses service a patient population that requires increased sleep health care. However, they are currently underequipped to do so, leading to suboptimal treatment provision. Providing community nurses with the appropriate resources, such as increased sleep‐related education and standardized treatment frameworks, could enable them to better manage sleep disturbance/disorder presentations, such as insomnia. Impact Little is known about how community nurses care for patients with sleep disturbance/sleep disorders. This study found that contemporary sleep health care was lacking due to knowledge deficits, competing challenges, and a need for standardized care pathways. These findings can inform the development of targeted education/training and standardized guidelines for community nurses providing sleep health care to patients as well as the design of future practice models of care provision. Patient or Public Contribution Previous research by authors has involved extensive engagement with patients and health professionals, such as community pharmacists, general practitioners, and naturopaths who play a role in sleep health in the primary health care sector. These previous research projects built a significant understanding of the patient and health practitioner experience and have provided the background to the concept and design of this study.

“…Undergraduate gerontological nursing education plays a critical role in providing academic and professional training. To guarantee that students have the information, abilities, and positive attitudes necessary to care for older persons in order to fulfill the requirements of the world’s rapidly ageing population, undergraduate gerontological nursing education is essential [ 5 , 6 ]. However, the inadequacy and inconsistencies of aged education have significant impacts on the quality and safety of aged care [ 7 ].…”

“…Evidence showed that students have significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and working intentions towards aged care if they attend a stand-alone gerontological and geriatrics course as well as clinical placement in their undergraduate nursing education program [ 6 ]. This highlights the importance of aged-care education implemented in nursing curricula, which could highly impact students’ working intentions regarding employment in aged care.…”

Background There are huge demands for aged-care workers, and undergraduate gerontological nursing education plays a critical role in providing academic and professional training. Purpose To examine relationships of characteristics, aged-care education, and gerontological nursing competencies with the intention to work in aged care. Methods An online survey was distributed to undergraduate nursing students between April and June 2022 to gather characteristics, relevant aged-care education, gerontological nursing competencies, and intentions to work in aged care data. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify determinants of the intention to work in aged care. Results Students (n = 358) who were older (p < 0.001) and who were married (p < 0.001) had higher intentions to work in aged care. “Promoting mental health and psychological well-being”, “Providing evidence-based dementia care”, and “Enabling access to technology”, were also associated with positive intentions. Conclusions This study provides evidence on determinants of the intention to work in aged care, particularly gerontological nursing competencies.

“…Research findings indicate that most nursing students lack knowledge in geriatric nursing, hold age-discriminatory attitude, and still need improvement [6]. Geriatric nursing education plays a vital role in shaping nursing students' perceptions of aging, and the instructional design of geriatric nursing courses can enhance nursing students' knowledge and positive attitude toward the elderly [7,8].…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different teaching methods of geriatric nursing on the mastery of geriatric knowledge among nursing students and their attitude toward the elderly. Methods Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies on teaching methods to improve nursing students’ knowledge and attitude were systematically retrieved in electronic databases. The time scale of retrieval spans from the database establishment to January 2024, and the database consists of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (CNKI), China Biological literature database (CBM), Wanfang Database and VIP Database. Network meta-analysis was performed by Stata 16.0 software. Results Thirty-nine studies involving 5310 nursing students met our inclusion criteria, and a total of 6 teaching methods were analyzed. According to the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) ranking, problem-based learning (PBL) was most effective in enhancing the knowledge mastery of geriatric nursing, while simulation-based learning (SBL) demonstrated the best application effect in improving nursing students’ attitude toward the elderly. When considering both knowledge acquisition and attitude improvement simultaneously, service learning combined with traditional teaching method (SL+TTM) was found to exhibit the most optimal effectiveness. Conclusion Educators in geriatric nursing education should prioritize the adoption of PBL, SBL and SL + TTM to enhance nursing students’ knowledge and attitude.
