Article: Trainee and Trainer Reactions to a Scripted Dementia Care
Training Program in Residential Care / Assisted Living Settings and Nursing Homes
by Susan Fletcher
Alzheimer's Care Today January 1 2010
Abstract
Standardized, scripted training programs to educate staff members who work in long-term care (LTC) have the potential to be replicated across diverse settings because scripted material helps ensure that the program is delivered consistently and as intended by developers. While there are potential benefits to such standardization, little is known about trainee and trainer reactions to scripted training programs. This study, one of the Collaborative Studies of Long-Term Care, investigated trainee and trainer reactions to a scripted training program developed for staff members who care for residents with dementia in LTC settings. Specifically, we examined the extent to which the degree of adherence to the script (ie, implementation fidelity) was related to (1) trainee satisfaction, (2) trainee rating of trainer knowledge, (3) trainer rating of program effectiveness and relevance, and (4) the trainer's perception of trainee interest. Results indicate that higher trainee satisfaction and higher trainee rating of trainer knowledge were significantly related to the amount of implementation fidelity. Trainer additions to the script were related to their own lower ratings of session effectiveness and perceived trainee interest. However, trainers had some unfavorable reactions to reading a script. These results suggest that adhering to a standardized training program may be received positively by trainees, although trainers may need to become more comfortable with such standardization
