Abstract

Purpose: Challenging behaviors of residents with dementia represent a major concern in nursing homes (NHs). Although various studies have investigated the effects of staff training in challenging behavior management, few have explored their impact on laypeople's perceptions. However, NH professionals routinely interact with laypeople, such as current and prospective residents and their families, volunteers, and community partners. The current study examined the effect of person-centered staff training on naïve individuals' perceptions of staff competence.

Method: Twenty-two NH professionals completed person-centered care training in challenging behavior management and responded to a clinical vignette before and after training. Their responses were evaluated by 59 naïve assessors for relevance, confidence, and competence. In addition, two trained assessors were recruited to explore whether their informed evaluations corroborated naïve assessors' impressions.

Results: Relevance, confidence, and competence improved significantly according to naïve and trained assessors. NH professionals also reported feeling more competent.

Conclusion: Multiple measures indicate improved staff performance following training. Future studies should examine how laypeople's perceptions of staff competence influence their experiences in NHs and impact NH attractiveness.

养老院的挑战行为:员工培训对外行人对员工能力认知的影响。
目的:痴呆症患者的挑战性行为是养老院(NHs)关注的主要问题。尽管有各种各样的研究调查了员工培训对挑战性行为管理的影响,但很少有研究探讨它们对外行人看法的影响。然而,NH专业人员经常与外行人互动,如现有和未来的居民及其家人,志愿者和社区合作伙伴。本研究考察了以人为本的员工培训对naïve个人对员工能力的看法的影响。方法:22名NH专业人员完成了挑战性行为管理的以人为本的护理培训,并在培训前后对临床小故事做出了反应。他们的回答由59位naïve评估员对相关性、信心和能力进行评估。此外,还招募了两名训练有素的评估员,以探讨他们的知情评估是否证实naïve评估员的印象。结果:根据naïve和经过培训的评估者,相关性,信心和能力显著提高。NH专业人士也表示感觉自己更有能力。结论:多项指标表明培训后员工绩效有所提高。未来的研究应该检查外行人对员工能力的看法如何影响他们在NHs的经历,并影响NH的吸引力。老年护理杂志,xx(xx), xx-xx。
