Geriatric and gerontology
During this blog I am going to talk about geriatric and gerontology but What does it mean?
well, on one hand GERIATRIC, is the medical specialty that deals with the physiology of aging and with the diagnosis and treatmen of diseases affecting the aged. And on the other hand, GERONTOLOGY is the study of all aspects of the aging process which affects ours society in general like health care, education, business... Nowadays, gerontologycal investigation are considered one of the most important in supporting research in different countries.
Therefore geriatric nursing is the nurse specialist who provides service and nursing care for the elderly, being able to teach, supervise, investigate, manage and lead the care for this group in complex situations that also serves as an advisor in every levels of the socio-sanitary system.
But Why do we need geriatric nursing?
The increase of the elderly population and the increasing demand for care by this group justify themselves, the importance of geriatric nursing specialty. Besides that, from my point of view, a normal nurse is not really cualificated to care elderly people, is necesary that all nurses who works in nursing homes or even in a Health Care Center, are specialized in geriatric. I think that due to the complexity of nursing elderly care and generally the length thereof, require a level of professional competence (knowledge, attitudes, and specialized skills) that are not covered in the basic training.

I mean, for example, i love emergencies and i would like to work in ambulance or in a hospital because i consider myself an active person so really working with elderly people sounds me more "boring"or less exciting. I do not know if really it is the problem but i know that we need more people who are interested in geriatric care than in other specialities because life expectancy is increasing so is needed more and more people specialized in this kind of care.
