The increase in the number of older adults in Indonesia can be one of the
important reasons for the government to increase attention to this
group, especially in the health sector. Older adults who are productive
and prosperous so that they can actively participate in society can be
achieved through the development of programs and policies by both the
government and existing health professional organizations. The National
Board of Indonesian Gerontology Nurse Association (PP IPEGERI) as part
of the Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI) actively continues
to make positive contributions to the development of the welfare of
older adults, one of which is through training of trainers to create
competent gerontic nurses in providing training in their each respective
area.

The training of trainers was carried out on 28-30 May 2021 for 31
participants from several provinces in Indonesia with a total
implementation time of 30 JPL consisting of several topics, including: (1)
Service Policies on Older Adults in Indonesia, (2) Trends & Issues in
Gerontius Nursing, (3) Modality Therapy in Gerontic Nursing, (4) Training
& Teaching Techniques, (5) Multimedia Learning Design, (6) Micro
Teaching, (7) Building Learning Commitment, and (8) Follow Up Plans
(RTL).

The results of the implementation analysis show that there are
positive benefits from the implementation of training of trainers for
prospective trainers (Sig. = 0.000) and an increase in the cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor aspects of the participants. In the future, this
activity will become a routine agenda carried out by PP IPEGERI to
expand the coverage area in Indonesia which has gerontic nursing
trainers who are able to conduct gerontic nursing training for nurses so
that nursing services provided to older adults are of higher quality.
