Brief summary: Elderly abuse is a pervasive and concerning issue, particularly as the global population ages. Gerontological nurses play a pivotal role in identifying, preventing, and responding to elder abuse.

Detailed description: A virtual-based educational program designed to alter nurses' responses to violence against older adults is a comprehensive and interactive initiative aimed at equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to address and mitigate instances of violence within this vulnerable demographic. This program leverages digital platforms, incorporating multimedia elements, such as videos, case studies, and interactive simulations, to create an engaging and immersive learning experience. The curriculum is meticulously curated to cover various facets of violence against older adults, encompassing types of abuse, risk factors, identification strategies, and evidence-based intervention techniques.

Key components of the virtual program include scenario-based learning modules that simulate real-world situations nurses may encounter, allowing them to practice appropriate responses in a risk-free environment. Additionally, the program incorporates theoretical frameworks and ethical considerations to guide nurses in understanding the complexities of violence against older adults and formulating empathetic and effective responses.

Interactivity is a focal point, with virtual discussions, forums, and collaborative activities promoting knowledge sharing and peer learning. The program integrates assessments to measure participants' understanding and retention of the material, fostering a continuous learning process.

Moreover, the virtual program emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging nurses to work in tandem with other healthcare professionals, social services, and law enforcement agencies to create a comprehensive and supportive network for older adults experiencing violence.

Post-program support mechanisms, such as access to resources, expert consultations, and ongoing forums, contribute to sustaining the knowledge gained and fostering a community of practice committed to addressing violence against older adults. Overall, this virtual-based educational program serves as a dynamic and responsive platform, empowering nurses to proactively address and respond to instances of violence against older adults in a holistic and compassionate manner.
