Educational interventions to improve student nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, or willingness to work with older people: a systematic review of quantitative findings
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this systematic literature review of quantitative findings was to examine the effectiveness of educational interventions to improve gerontological knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to work with older people in baccalaureate nursing students. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted in five databases. Quality assessment was conducted using the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 papers were included in the review. The overall quality of studies included was moderate. The interventions were classified as education content, simulation or immersion experiences, clinical placement, or a combination of these pedagogical approaches. Majority of studies demonstrated improvement in knowledge and attitudes but there was a limited change in willingness to work with older people. There is insufficient evidence to make recommendations for the most effective educational intervention for enhancing bachelor of nursing students' willingness to engage in gerontological care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
