This report address two key questions: what are common core functions of nursing home social services departments and what are top training needs. Cross-sectional survey data collected in 2019 from a nationally representative sample of 924 social services directors reveal 33 responsibilities that at least two-thirds of respondents reported their department was usually or always involved in. We document strong and consistent interest in more training related to dementia and in common mental health and psychosocial challenges residents face. Findings reveal that training specific to social services is difficult to find. Online training opportunities were endorsed and 96% felt training targeted to new social services directors would be useful.
养老院社会服务部门的常见核心职能是什么，以及顶级培训需求是什么。2019 年，通过对全国代表性样本 924 名社会服务主任进行的横断面调查数据收集，揭示了至少三分之二的受访者报告其部门通常或总是参与的 33 项职责。我们记录了对与痴呆症以及居民面临的常见心理健康和心理社会挑战相关的培训的强烈且一致的兴趣。研究结果表明，针对社会服务的具体培训很难找到。在线培训机会得到了认可，96%的人认为针对新社会服务主任的培训将是有用的。
