摘要：

Purpose: The design-thinking intergenerational service-learning model (DTISLM) has structured ageing-related trainings on strategies to improve empathy among college students for intergenerational program development and promote positive relationships and wellbeing between younger and older generations in community-based settings. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of DTISLM on college students' ageism, intergenerational relationships, and health. Method: Mixed-methods data were collected via pre-post surveys and after-class reflection notes from 142 students from three universities in Taiwan. Results: DTISLM significantly improved college students' level of empathy toward older adults, age stereotypes, intergenerational relationships, wellbeing (i.e., life satisfaction), and health behaviors (i.e., exercise). This intervention promoted health awareness among college students. Discussion: Via hands-on trainings for empathy improvement, DTISLM empowered college students to develop intergenerational programs that promoted positive intergenerational relationships and healthy habits. This sheds new light on university-community partnerships involving intergenerational service needs to create age-friendly societies globally.
