The value of geriatric care enhancement training for direct service workers

Abstract

The authors evaluate a two-phase training series aimed at increasing professionalism and self-efficacy through problem-solving, communication, and stress management skills. The article describes the curriculum and draws a couple of conclusions: that training was more highly rated by those committed to geriatric care, and that continued training is correlated with an increase in positive impact on job performance.
