To explore residential aged care staff perceptions of an online training program on the management of antipsychotic medications for responsive behaviour in residential aged care.
A qualitative process evaluation was undertaken in four residential aged care facilities of one organisation in Australia. Five focus group interviews were conducted with 25 participants including nurses, care workers, occupational therapists and assistants.
Direct care staff found that the training program increased their awareness and knowledge of responsive behaviours associated with dementia. Inductive thematic analysis identified three themes: (1) impact of online learning for dementia care; (2) applying online learning in dementia practice; and (3) realising the benefits and challenges of online learning.
From the perspective of the participants, the online training program had a positive effect on their knowledge, communication and practice of caring for residents with dementia with responsive behaviours.
探讨老年护理机构工作人员对一项关于老年护理机构中针对反应性精神行为的抗精神病药物管理在线培训项目的看法。
在澳大利亚一个组织的四家老年护理机构进行了定性过程评估。对包括护士、护理员、职业治疗师和助理在内的25名参与者进行了五次焦点小组访谈。
直接护理人员发现该培训项目提高了他们对与痴呆症相关的反应性精神行为的认识和知识。归纳主题分析确定了三个主题：（1）在线学习对痴呆症护理的影响；（2）在痴呆症实践中应用在线学习；（3）认识到在线学习的益处和挑战。
从参与者的角度来看，在线培训项目对他们照顾有反应性精神行为的痴呆症居民的知识、沟通和实践产生了积极影响。
