Abstract：

The profound global demographic shift towards an aging society presents unprecedented challenges to contemporary healthcare systems, specifically illuminating the acute shortage of nursing professionals proficient in comprehensive geriatric care. Traditional nursing education models predominantly emphasize acute clinical interventions within hospital settings, often systematically neglecting the continuity of care required across community and home environments. To address this critical pedagogical gap, this paper proposes an innovative "Hospital-Community-Family" (HCF) ternary collaborative nursing teaching model. By structurally integrating tertiary hospital resources, community health centers, and home-based care scenarios, the HCF model establishes a seamless and immersive educational continuum. This study rigorously explores the theoretical underpinnings of the HCF paradigm, detailing its core structural components and outlining concrete implementation pathways. These pathways include the adoption of longitudinal patient-tracking clerkships, the integration of artificial intelligence-driven virtual simulations for home care, and the promotion of interprofessional education (IPE) networks. Furthermore, the paper delineates a multidimensional evaluation mechanism utilizing Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) and attitude-assessment scales to comprehensively measure nursing students' clinical competencies, humanistic care capabilities, and overall adaptability to complex geriatric conditions. The findings conceptually suggest that the HCF teaching model not only aligns with the long-term care demands of older adults but also significantly mitigates ageist biases among students, enhancing their proactive engagement in gerontology. This research provides a highly viable and scientifically grounded paradigm for nursing education reform, ultimately contributing to the optimization of healthcare delivery and resource allocation in rapidly aging populations.
