Evaluation of an interactive multimedia application to learn interpersonal skills.

A multidisciplinary team from Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto collaborated to produce an interactive multimedia application to teach interpersonal communication skills. The purpose of this educational prototype was to provide a module to accompany an introductory course in communication skills. Though it is based on a scenario specific to a group of health care professionals, it is hoped that the application would be useful to a variety of learners.

A community-based psychogeriatric service.

The elderly are most susceptible to mental illness, and they receive inadequate mental health services. The authors developed a community-based program to meet the needs of the psychiatrically impaired elderly by providing a multiplicity of indirect services to community caregivers. A psychiatrist and two clinical specialists in psychiatric nursing provide consultation, education, collaboration, and coordination to individuals and agencies dealing directly with elderly clients in the community. Evaluation of data show a high degree of consultee satisfaction, few recommendations for institutional care, satisfactory client outcomes, and a significant impact achieved by a formal educational program for community practitioners.
