This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new training program for care workers at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Half of the participants will attend a lecture plus try on special suits that mimic what it feels like to be elderly and frail, then discuss their experience with peers. The other half will attend only the lecture. The researchers want to see if the hands-on simulation helps care workers develop more empathy, better communication skills, and stronger knowledge about aging.
Care workers play a crucial role in helping older adults feel valued and understood, but many workers may not fully grasp what aging residents experience physically and emotionally. This study aims to discover whether direct, immersive simulation training helps workers provide more compassionate and effective care.

If you are selected for the intervention group, you will attend an interactive lecture on aging and empathy, then put on a special suit designed to simulate physical aging while practicing five different caregiving scenarios. After that, you'll join a guided group discussion with other participants and a trained facilitator. If you are in the control group, you will attend only the lecture. Either way, you will complete brief questionnaires before the training, one month after, and two months after to help researchers measure what you learned and how you feel about the training.
