The current project tested the feasibility and utility of the CARES® Dementia-Friendly Hospital™ (CDFH) program, a 4-module, online training program for nursing assistants (NAs) and allied hospital workers (AHWs) who provide care to individuals with dementia. A single group pretest/posttest design was used for 25 hospital NAs/AHWs, and quantitative and qualitative data were collected to determine whether NAs'/AHWs' knowledge of hospital-based dementia care significantly increased, and if CDFH was perceived as useful and acceptable. Dementia care knowledge increased significantly (p < 0.001). Open- and closed-ended data suggested that the delivery of online training to NAs/AHWs to enhance dementia care is feasible, useful, and efficient. Ongoing gaps in care exist for individuals with dementia in hospitals, and delivering robust training for NAs/AHWs may serve as an effective modality to enhance quality of dementia care in such settings.

当前项目测试了CARES®痴呆友好医院™(CDFH)项目的可行性和实用性。该项目是一个针对护理助理(NA)和为痴呆患者提供护理的医院辅助工作人员(AHW)的四模块在线培训项目。对25名医院NA/AHW采用单组前测/后测设计,并收集定量和定性数据,以确定NA/AHW对医院痴呆护理的知识是否显著增加,以及CDFH是否被认为有用且可接受。痴呆护理知识显著增加(p<0.001)。开放式和封闭式数据表明,为NA/AHW提供在线培训以加强痴呆护理是可行、有用且高效的。医院中痴呆患者的护理仍存在持续差距,为NA/AHW提供有力培训可能是提高此类环境中痴呆护理质量的有效方式。[《老年护理研究》。2017年;10(2):58 - 65。]
