Positive Side Effects of a Job-Related Training Program for Older Adults in South Korea
Lee, Minhong; Choi, Jae-Sung
Educational Gerontology, v38 n1 p1-9 2012
The objective of the current study was to evaluate empirically positive side effects of a job-related training program on older adults' self-esteem, depression, and social networks. A total of 70 older adults participated in the study after completing the Older Paraprofessional Training Program developed and provided by the Continuing Education Center in a university in Korea. The one group pretest-posttest design was employed to test the positive side effects of the program. The results of paired samples "t" tests statistically support that there are significant changes in self-esteem, depression, and social network after completing the program. The findings of the study are discussed in relation to the evaluation and development of job-related training programs for older adults. (Contains 2 tables.)
