The main objective of the current study was to ascertain the efficacy of a newly developed online, video-based dementia training and certification program for hospital staff, the CARES® Dementia 5-Step Method for Hospitals™ Online Training and Certification Program. A parallel randomized waitlist control design was utilized. Participants (N = 272) completed online pre-evaluation measures. Forty-five days after completion of CARES® (treatment) or pre-evaluation measures (control), participants completed a post-evaluation online assessment. Analyses of variance found that participants in the treatment condition indicated greater and statistically significant (p < .001) increases in sense of competence, approaches to dementia, and patient care. The results implied that the CARES® Dementia 5-Step Method for Hospitals™ program could serve as a dynamic resource for hospitals nationwide to update training and share experiences, perspectives, and resources. The inherent scalability of the program regarding its acceptability, feasibility, and potential to incorporate seamlessly into routine workflows and staff training suggests high implementation potential.
本研究的主要目的是确定一项新开发的、基于视频的在线痴呆症培训与认证项目（即CARES®医院痴呆症五步训练法在线培训与认证项目）对医院工作人员的有效性。采用了平行随机等待列表对照设计。参与者（N = 272）完成了在线预评估措施。在完成CARES®（治疗组）或预评估措施（对照组）45天后，参与者完成了在线后评估。方差分析发现，治疗组的参与者在能力感、痴呆症应对方式和患者护理方面有更大且具有统计学意义（p < .001）的提升。结果表明，CARES®医院痴呆症五步训练法项目可以作为一种动态资源，供全国的医院更新培训内容，分享经验、观点和资源。该项目在可接受性、可行性以及无缝融入日常工作流程和员工培训的潜力方面具有内在的可扩展性，这表明其实施潜力很大。
