Inservice Education: Consultation and Related Services for Nursing Home Personnel. Final Report.
United Hospital Fund of New York, NY.
A project to demonstrate how a team of instructor/consultants could function on a regional basis to help upgrade inservice education programs in nursing homes was conducted. The design of this Nursing Home Training Program was structured to allow for changes in demonstrated services in accordance with reactions of participants. An advisory and an operational committee were created to assist project staff. Consultants and staff members made 211 visits to nursing homes and worked in conjunction with 92 nursing home personnel. Visits were undertaken to conduct interviews designed to establish and maintain working relationships, obtain information, plan and evaluate programs, and demonstrate, develop and test various teaching methods. It was concluded that the findings and results of the demonstration supported the need for individualized services provided by instructor/consultants. Services aided administrators in coping with their charges. (CK)
