Gerontological Nursing Growth and its Adaptation

Andrea Ross*

Policymakers in wealthy and emerging nations alike face significant challenges as a result of the continuing growth of older adult populations. The JAHF is one of America's top philanthropies today with a continuous interest in ageing and health2 centred on age-friendly health systems, family caregiving, major illnesses, and end-of-life care. This demographic imperative has sparked many problems and innovative health care initiatives. The JAHF has taken the lead in ensuring that geriatrics training was provided to our country's clinicians and educators in medicine, nursing, and social work who offer care to older individuals as part of their professional education. Gerontology nursing is a special area of nursing that calls for nurses to concentrate their care on the elderly. This population has a higher prevalence of comorbid illnesses such diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. Complex care is needed in this profession to meet their needs. For tailored care, nurses must be aware of their extensive histories. In order to educate and promote well-being in the geriatric population, nurses use evidence-based practise in their treatment. Clinical expertise is delivered by professional nurses using scientific knowledge and care that is culturally sensitive. Nursing professionals that work with the elderly are required to have expertise in patient care, treatment planning, education, mental health, and rehabilitation.
