The Psychology of Geriatric Rehabilitation
Price:$99.99
Most rehabilitation professionals report spending more than half of their time treating patients over the age of 65 years. Geriatric patients have become the new majority, so we must rise to the occasion to best serve this patientpopulation. It can be difficult to find the most purposeful and meaningful activities to engage our older patients. Many stereotypes about aging and older adults can lead rehabilitation professionals to create suboptimal care environments or use inefficient tactics to motivate ourpatients during their rehabilitation. Providing evidence-based practice includes the use of psychologically informed practice, which outlines the psychosocial factors that can best predict outcomes in rehabilitation. This course will provide rehabilitation professionals with the latest evidence to best guide interactions with older adult patients. It will also provide practical strategies to implement psychologically informed techniques into daily practice to improve motivation and adherence in patients.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants

good information! as a still-working 72 year old ot, i would like to suggest the term "implicit bias" in describing that sort of non-hostile ageism. also, i am frequently advising younger colleagues to avoid "honey", "dear", etc. as well as not referring to any elderly person as "cute" or "adorable". i know, it shouldn't have to be said, but these therapists often look shocked when i tell them that it is demeaning and condescending.thanks for teaching this course.
