[Expectations of training and career in geriatric care].
Historically, the profession of geriatric nurse has arisen from the care of the sick and has developed very differently from region to region. A question as to the status of development of the profession of geriatric nurse cannot be answered by reference to the current status of legislation on professional law matters. If experts in that field focus too long on such matters, there is a danger that decisive developments in the profession of geriatric nurse take place outside their field of vision. This longitudinal survey involving trainees in their first year of training has revealed a series of interesting links and developments which had not been reckoned with. In the core training areas, for example, expected modes of behaviour with specific regard to age, education and gender were outlined which should result, in terms of the consequences for training, in measures to improve quality. Furthermore, there is a need for criteria to assure the quality of the training of geriatric nurses so as to guarantee a minimum quality standard. For example, there is currently a lack of any binding framework curriculum and provisions assuring the quality of the manpower and facilities available at training locations. Also questionable is the level of qualification of those who supervise the practical training of trainees at such locations and the whole area of further training of teaching staff.
