- Abstract
Background: Many nursing schools are challenged to provide adequate gerontological education to students despite the enormous benefits to students' careers and society. This project developed student learning objectives to be used by nursing faculty to facilitate enriched gerontology courses and program curricula. Method: The project team drafted a comprehensive list of nursing student learning objectives based on the 2020 Canadian Gerontological Nursing Association Standards of Practice and Competencies and included relevant supportive references. Subsequently, 20 gerontological nurse experts reviewed the learning objectives through a modified Delphi process via online Qualtrics surveys (two rounds). Results: A total of 176 learning objectives were rated in round one for importance, measurability, feasibility, and interpretability; these were amalgamated to 47 learning objectives for review in round two. Conclusion: Thirty-three learning objectives were identified and validated that can be used by nursing schools to offer increased opportunities for gerontological learning.
