ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a special course called "Senior Beauty and Health Care" designed to help students learn how to better care for older adults, especially focusing on their appearance and overall well-being. The course uses hands-on learning and real community practice to help students change any negative ideas they might have about aging and to improve their skills and motivation in supporting older people. The study will look at how well the course works by asking students questions before and after the course and holding group discussions to gather their thoughts.

Adults who are at least 18 years old, can communicate in Mandarin or Taiwanese, and agree to join the study may be eligible to participate. People who refuse to give consent, are on a leave of absence, or have serious mental health conditions that make participation unsuitable will not be included. If you join, you can expect to take part in the course and share your experiences through surveys and group talks. This study aims to help improve how future caregivers understand and support the health and happiness of older adults.
