简要总结
Ageism is common is healthcare workers, and that results in negative outcomes for elderly patients. This randomized controlled trial is to determine if age bias could be changed by an online learning activity in undergraduate students in an entry-level nutrition class.
详细描述
This randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms is to determine the effect of an online educational intervention developed to reduce ageism in undergraduate students enrolled in an entry-level Nutrition class. Eligible study participants will be randomized into either the "Intervention group" (INT) or the "Control group" (CON). The two groups will have different learning material delivered online via Blackboard (Learning Management System/LMS). These include a collection of short videos developed by the researchers, as well as relevant videos available on the web. Participants in the INT group will learn about aging and ageism, while the CON group will learn about diversity and cultural competence. Sociodemographic data, percieved risk of COVID-19, preventative behaviors related ot COVID-19 will be collected using a questionnaire at baseline. Ageism will be assessed using standard questionnaires. Data collection will be done at three time points: Pre-intervention, immediate post intervention and 2-weeks post-intervention. Difference between groups for pre-post intervention changes will be assessed.

结局指标
主要结局
Difference between groups for pre-and post intervention changes in the score of Fraboni's Scale for Ageism
时间窗: From Pre- to immediate post- intervention
Higher Fraboni's score indicates more bias.
Difference between groups for pre- and 2-weeks post intervention changes in the score of Fraboni's Scale for Ageism
时间窗: From Pre- to 2-weeks post-intervention
Higher Fraboni's score indicates more bias.
Difference between groups for pre and 2-weeks post intervention changes in benevolent subscores of the Ambivalent ageism scale Higher score indicates more benevolent bias.
时间窗: From Pre- to 2-weeks post-intervention
Higher benevolent score indicates more benevolent ageism
Difference between groups for pre-post intervention changes in benevolent subscores of the Ambivalent ageism scale
时间窗: From Pre- to immediate post- intervention
Higher benevolent score indicates more benevolent ageism
Difference between groups for pre and 2-week post intervention changes in hostile subscores of the Ambivalent ageism scale
时间窗: From Pre- to 2-weeks post-intervention
Higher hostile score indicates more hostile ageism
Difference between groups for pre-post intervention changes in hostile subscores of the Ambivalent ageism scale
时间窗: From Pre- to immediate post- intervention
Higher hostile score indicates more hostile ageism
次要结局
- Difference between groups for pre and 2-week post intervention changes in age-related implicit bias(From Pre- to 2-weeks post-intervention)
- Difference between groups for pre and 2-weeks post intervention changes in the value (years) used to define "old age"(From Pre- to 2-weeks post-intervention)
- Difference between groups for pre-post intervention changes in age-related implicit bias(From Pre- to immediate post- intervention)
- Difference between groups for pre-post intervention changes in the value (years) used to define "old age"(From Pre- to immediate post- intervention)
