This study develops and evaluates a "Senior Beauty and Health Care" course designed to improve students' awareness, attitudes, and skills in caring for older adults' appearance and well-being. Using experiential learning and community practice, the course aims to reduce negative stereotypes and boost students' motivation and competence. A mixed-methods approach, including pretest-posttest surveys and focus group interviews, will assess the course's effectiveness and provide insights for future geriatric care education.
