Abstract

Introduction: Older adults who suffer from chronic illnesses often employ the help of Home Care Aides (HCAs). These HCAs assist their client's nutrition and other activities of daily living. However, many HCAs who care for the elderly are themselves unaware of proper nutrition habits that can improve health outcomes. This project proposal centers on a nutrition-training program that focuses on HCAs and their knowledge of proper nutrition. It will challenge participants to eat better using foods are best suited to the chronic illness that their client suffers from.

Approach: The Nutrition Training Package contains materials that can be used in training sessions conducted over two days. Each day consists of interactive activities, discussions and presentations. These materials were adapted from interventions used by the Healthy Aging Program- an intervention previously hosted by EverThrive IL.

Outcomes: Although pilot testing is yet to be conducted, the training package is complete and ready for implementation.

Conclusion: Based on literature review, the contents of the Nutrition Training Package for Home Care Aides will guide participants through stages of the Model of Change, simultaneously creating the self-efficacy to contribute to elongated, healthier living for the elderly.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
