| Popis: | Abuse and neglect of nursing home residents are recognized as a major concern in the United States. The small amount of research conducted to date concerning the extent and correlates of the problem of abuse highlights the need for specialized staff training in abuse prevention. The residents' right to be free from abuse demands that facility staff be equipped with an awareness of the types of abuse, how to recognize the potentially abusive situations, and how to appropriately defuse conflict. This paper describes the development and test implementation of an eight module abuse prevention curriculum designed specifically for nurse aides in long term care facilities. |
