During a geriatrics/gerontology curriculum designed to develop positive attitudes toward older adults, promote understanding about the psychosocial aspects of normal aging, and provide experience with intergenerational communication, students in a combined BA/MD degree program participated in learning activities that focused on interacting with and interviewing older adults. This article describes medical students' performance during an intergenerational interview, examines differences between students' self-assessments and evaluators' ratings of students' performance, and presents statistical relationships among communication apprehension, situation anxiety, competence, and performance. Data analysis indicates that the majority of students demonstrated competent intergenerational interviewing skills during their standardized communication assessment. The discussion elaborates on the study findings, acknowledges limitations, and addresses practical implications of the study. |
