ARPA project is a strategic project with generous objectives
regarding the care of the elderly people facing mental health
disorders. The goal of the project is the development of
competences with professionals in the field of social work
related to support for the elderly people who face mental health
issues in such a manner that they would be able to face age
related challenges but also the severe problems brought about
by such an illness. The project aims a double perspective:
dissemination of good practices in Europe on care and
accompaniment for the elderly with mental health issues and
reduction of social breakdown situations through actions of
reintegration in the social life. We wanted to conduct a social
enquiry among our students as part of the project to see their
perception towards the elderly people, their level of knowledge
in terms of mental disorders and palliative interventions when
they face such situations. This is a questionnaire-based quality
study
