Abstract
This study assesses the first statewide program to provide simulation training conducted via videoconference to all new caseworkers. The simulation training in Illinois was conducted at a mock house. A mock family played by standardized clients is physically present, and trainees participate remotely. The program evaluation team implemented a survey that asks trainees to rate their confidence in different skills at multiple timepoints, to appraise the quality of feedback and debriefing of the training team, and to write text responses to the questions regarding their learning experience. Analysis of quantitative data over the course of the training showed statistically significant linear increases in trainees' confidence for all the 14 skills. Their text responses indicated that they received feedback they appreciated and felt they gained ability on a range of different skills. The simulation training makes a valued and effective contribution to the certification training.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect is the peer-reviewed quarterly journal that explores the advances in research, policy and practice, and clinical and ethical issues surrounding the abuse and neglect of older people. This unique forum provides state-of-the-art research and practice that is both international and multidisciplinary in scope. The journal"s broad, comprehensive approach is only one of its strengths—it presents training issues, research findings, case studies, practice and policy issues, book and media reviews, commentary, and historical background on a wide range of topics. Readers get tools and techniques needed for better detecting and responding to actual or potential elder abuse and neglect.
