<meta content="The report addresses the findings of Stage one of the Building Connections in Aged Care project. In Stage one the primary intent was to scope the issues, which impact on teaching and learning and the capacity of the involved Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) to support an educative agenda. Because the researchers had an ongoing and intense involvement with both the second year nursing students (N=20) participating 3 week clinical placements in six RACFs and nurses who worked with them as preceptors, many issues were revealed in the research discussions. Furthermore, the collaborative interactive methodology used to facilitate the project, supported the participants sense of ownership and their desire to flesh out and address the issues raised. Consequently, the findings presented in this report provide a unique insight into the operation of residential care facilities not previously documented in the literature, not least a lack of capacity within RACFs to effectively support students on placement." name="eprints.abstract" />

In Stage one the primary intent was to scope the issues, which impact on teaching and learning and the capacity of the involved Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) to support an educative agenda. Because the researchers had an ongoing and intense involvement with both the second year nursing students (N=20) participating 3 week clinical placements in six RACFs and nurses who worked with them as preceptors, many issues were revealed in the research discussions. Furthermore, the collaborative interactive methodology used to facilitate the project, supported the participants sense of ownership and their desire to flesh out and address the issues raised. Consequently, the findings presented in this report provide a unique insight into the operation of residential care facilities not previously documented in the literature, not least a lack of capacity within RACFs to effectively support students on placement.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Report (Project Report)</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Aged care, student nurses, clincial education</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/321106.html">320000 Medical and Health Sciences > 321100 Nursing > 321106 Aged Care Nursing</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1449</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">A/Prof Andrew L Robinson</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">24 Sep 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">30 Jan 2008 16:34</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1449;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=1449">item control page</a></p>
