Abstract
Healthcare providers must demonstrate empathy, yet how to teach empathy to future providers remains uncertain. The authors explored approaches to teaching empathy and age-friendly occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology care following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis-Scoping Reviews [PRISMA-ScR]. Key search terms included ageism, education, empathy, healthcare, occupational, physical and speech therapy, attitudes, and students. The search criteria were papers written in English, peer-reviewed, original, and published between 2013 and 2023. Article selection required the term ageism, focused on empathy, acknowledged an age group, and at least one of the professions of occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology. Four of the 399 original articles identified met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There is compelling albeit limited evidence to support the use of simulation to teach and promote age-friendly healthcare. Authors caution that a single instructional methodology like simulation may be cost-prohibitive in time, and resources.
