Abstract

Existing training on elder mistreatment in nursing homes focuses on detection and reporting of abuse, with little training specifically targeted toward prevention of mistreatment before it occurs. We used qualitative interviews with nursing home staff, policy makers, and related professionals to identify training needs. Based on participant accounts, we drafted a number of competencies essential for caregiver training to prevent mistreatment in nursing homes. Competencies include those dealing with definitions and policies, risks for mistreatment, communication and respect in relationships with residents, and development of a cooperative work environment. Competencies are discussed along with illustrative examples, and implications for practice and policy are addressed.

摘要

现有的养老院虐待老人培训侧重于虐待的发现和报告，几乎没有专门针对虐待发生前预防的培训。我们使用与养老院工作人员、政策制定者和相关专业人员的定性访谈来确定培训需求。根据参与者的描述，我们起草了一些护理人员培训的基本能力，以防止养老院中的虐待行为。这些能力包括处理定义和政策、虐待风险、与居民关系中的沟通和尊重以及合作工作环境的发展。讨论了这些能力，并提供了说明性示例，还探讨了对实践和政策的影响。
