A quasi-experimental 2-group repeated-measures design was used to test the impact of a feeding skills training program on 67 nursing assistants (treatment group n = 31; control group n = 36) regarding their knowledge, attitudes, perceived behavior control, intentions, and behaviors in feeding dementia patients. The treatment group received a feeding skills training program. Nursing assistants' knowledge, attitudes, perceived behavior control, and intentions were measured before (Pretest) and after the program (Posttest 1), and again 4 weeks later (Posttest 2). Nursing assistants (treatment group n = 20; control group n = 16) and the same number of dementia patients were measured on feeding behaviors during mealtimes before and after the training. The treatment group had significantly more knowledge (P < .001), greater intention to feed (P = .05), and better behaviors toward feeding dementia patients (P = .009) than the control group. There were no significant differences between the groups in attitude (P = .85), intention beliefs (P = .11) or perceived behavior control (P = .99). Thus, the intervention was effective at changing knowledge, intention, and behaviors among nursing assistants.
采用准实验性两组重复测量设计，以测试一项喂食技能培训项目对67名护理助理（治疗组n = 31；对照组n = 36）在喂养痴呆患者方面的知识、态度、感知行为控制、意图和行为的影响。治疗组接受了喂食技能培训项目。在项目前（预测试）和项目后（后测1）以及4周后（后测2）测量护理助理的知识、态度、感知行为控制和意图。在训练前后的用餐时间，对护理助理（治疗组n = 20；对照组n = 16）以及相同数量的痴呆患者的喂食行为进行测量。治疗组在知识方面显著多于对照组（P <.001），喂食意愿更强（P =.05），对痴呆患者的喂食行为更好（P =.009）。两组在态度（P =.85）、意图信念（P =.11）或感知行为控制（P =.99）方面无显著差异。因此，该干预措施在改变护理助理的知识、意图和行为方面是有效的。
