We conducted four experiments to evaluate a respite care training package. In Experiment 1, we assessed the effectiveness of an instructional manual on the acquisition of respite care skills and compared the relative effects of three different manual on the acquisition of respite care skills and compared the relative effects of three different manual presentation formats. Results showed that performance during simulated (role-played) respite care situations improved substantially for all six trainees following presentation of the instructional manual (with no significant differences between presentation formats) although some remedial training was necessary to achieve mastery criterion. In Experiment 2, we evaluated the effects of the manual presented as a whole with a larger group of trainees and compared it to a workshop training approach. Results showed that both the instructional manual and workshop training approaches were effective, but that the former appeared to be more cost-effective. In both experiments, correct responding generalized to a respite care situation with a multiply handicapped child. In addition, several measures of social validity were obtained. In Experiment 3, we evaluated a simplified training and assessment package that could be conducted using the resources typically available to respite care agencies, and in Experiment 4, we demonstrated that respite care agency personnel could successfully implement this program.
我们进行了四项实验来评估暂息护理培训包。在实验 1 中，我们评估了一本关于暂息护理技能获取的指导手册的效果，并比较了三种不同手册呈现格式对暂息护理技能获取的相对影响。结果表明，所有六名受训者在接受指导手册呈现后（呈现格式之间没有显著差异），在模拟（角色扮演）暂息护理情境中的表现都有了显著提高，尽管需要进行一些补救训练才能达到掌握标准。在实验 2 中，我们用更大的受训者群体评估了整体呈现的手册的效果，并将其与工作坊培训方法进行了比较。结果表明，指导手册和工作坊培训方法都有效，但前者似乎更具成本效益。在这两个实验中，正确的反应都泛化到了一个有多重重度残疾儿童的暂息护理情境中。此外，还获得了几个社会有效性的衡量标准。在实验 3 中，我们评估了一个简化的培训和评估包，它可以使用暂息护理机构通常可用的资源进行，在实验 4 中，我们证明了暂息护理机构人员可以成功实施该计划。
