The situation of an ageing population is a priority for all levels of society globally, particularly related to the subsequent increased demand for care. Nurses are often the primary source of this care; therefore, research is required to develop the curricula of nursing education, to help them meet this demand. The primary aim was to analyse empirical studies that have tackled nursing students' education concerning nursing older people. This analysis was targeted at generating an overall picture of the research in this field in order to determine the areas that require further study. A scoping literature review was conducted through systematic searches in the following electronic databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). These searches were limited to studies with an available abstract, in English, which were conducted between 1999 and 2012. Two researchers independently applied the same inclusion and exclusion criteria to select the studies for analysis. In total, 66 articles were included in the analyses. The results were validated by the research team. The primary research areas identified included both the learning outcomes and the implementation of nurses' education in caring for older people. Students' general attitudes towards older people and ageing dominated the studies regarding learning outcomes. There was a large variation in the description of the validity and trustworthiness of the studies, with most being only at a moderate level. A limited number of studies examining the specific learning outcomes and factors influencing the implementation of education exist. Vague reporting about the validity and trustworthiness of the studies limits the use of their findings. More well-designed studies are needed to guide educational strategies to improve students' competence in nursing older people and to promote this field as a career choice.

“…Observer 2 had expertise in therapeutic communication skills for healthcare providers, and as such, has been considered a leader in defining categories of verbal and non-verbal communication for analysis. Movement elements that were selected for observation were categorized according to common creative movement classifications (Sherrill & Delaney, 2004), while verbal and non-verbal communication skills were classified using models that had been researched and field tested (Kluge & Glick, 2006;Kluge, Glick, Engleman & Savis-Hooper, 2007). The researchers had confidence that potential limitations or biases in data collection and analysis relating to issues of content validity were adequately addressed.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to understand what is was like for older women (78-92 years of age) who recently relocated to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) to participate in a five-week dance/dance movement therapy (DMT) class called Let's Keep Moving. Dance and DMT have many quality of life benefits for a range of populations (i.e. people with Parkinson's disease) but little is known about how dance/DMT might be beneficial for older adults as they adjust to relocation. Method: A phenomenological case method approach was selected to guide this study. Data were collected and triangulated from videotaped footage and field notes taken of the dance class and from focus group interviews with participants. Analysis revealed themes that had both structural and meaning units. Results: Being special and belonging, realizing a new and improved self, and moving better and feeling better were associated gains for participants. Having a teacher who was an authentic role model and provided inspiration was important/motivating to participants as well. Conclusions: Participation in dance/ DMT appears to help older women reduce relocation stress by fostering personal growth and social connectivity. Moreover, the precepts of Newman's Health as Expanding Consciousness appear to have utility in guiding thinking about health and quality of life for the old-old who are relocating to CRCCs.

“…Much of the nursing literature focuses on teaching communication skills in the sense of assertiveness training (Mc Cabe & Timmins 2003) or therapeutic communication (Kluge et al 2007) rather than, for example, focusing on how language is used to achieve therapeutic communication with patients or effective interaction with RNs.…”

Students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds play a valuable role in meeting the health care needs of multi-ethnic and multi-lingual societies. However, such students may face challenges during clinical placements due to difficulties with spoken communication. This paper is a report of an evaluation of the long-term effects of a language programme that aimed to improve students' spoken communication on clinical placements. Final year students who had completed the programme in the first year of their undergraduate degree were interviewed about their experiences of clinical placements and their perceptions of any long-term effects of the programme. The results suggest that early intervention language programmes may contribute to greater confidence and success for students. However, there is a need for further language programmes for some students as well as institutional changes to improve students' clinical learning experiences.
