The Developmental Compatibility of Young Women in Service to Aged Women.
Papertsian, Linda King
Educational Gerontology, v28 n9 p777-90 Oct 2002
Research shows that younger and older adults derive benefits from close reciprocal relationships; current health care training may lack a relational component. A small survey of 15 women aged 18-22 indicated that 12 had meaningful relationships with older women and 10 would consider working with the elderly. Those without such relationships were not interested in this work. (Contains 36 references.) (SK)
