What this Trial Is About
The GEROS Project is designed to develop and implement a Service-Learning program that combines Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and health promotion for older adults aged 60 and above. It involves university students from various health-related fields and aims to foster intergenerational learning and community engagement. The study follows a non-experimental mixed-method design and focuses on evaluating frailty, intrinsic capacity, quality of life, and other health indicators in participating older adults. Participants will receive a series of three sessions at the University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia, where students supervised by health professionals conduct CGA evaluations. Following the assessment, users receive a report with their CGA results along with personalized health education and recommendations. The program integrates practical student training with real-world health promotion for older adults. During the study, researchers will assess frailty and quality of life at baseline, and measure satisfaction and self-perceived knowledge and skills of both students and older adult participants after the intervention sessions. Data will be collected through questionnaires and recorded using REDCap. The study supports active aging and aligns with global health and equality goals, with total participation spanning up to 2-4 weeks after intervention.
