| Annotation | Forty-nine third year American medical students participated in the "Half-Full Aging Simulation Experience". The purpose of this programme was to allow students to experience the functional decline that may occur with normal ageing, while learning how function can be improved by simple environmental adaptations. Student attitudes were measured before and after the simulation experience. A significant change was detected on the instrumental sub-scale of the Aging Semantic Differential Scale (ASD). This sub-scale measures attitudes related to the older adult's ability to improve, change and pursue goals. (KJ/RH). |
