Installing systems successfully in managed care organizations.

Abstract

The installation of a new administrative system is a tremendous undertaking for any organization, affecting every area of the operation. Often, because of time and budget constraints as well as the perception that change is not immediately necessary, many organizations wait until there is no option but to change systems--then make the changes under short time frames. For a large, multisite organization, the issues are the same but the complexity increases tremendously.

A psychoeducational program for nursing staff managing problematic behaviors of elderly nursing home residents in Taiwan.

This quasi-experimental study assessed the influence of a psychoeducational train ing program on the knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of nursing home staff (nursing aides [NAs] and registered nurses [RNs]) regarding elderly residents and the management of their problematic behaviors. The training, which was conducted in northern Taiwan, was based on self-directed learning theory. Participants were divided into experimental (n = 130) and control (n = 140) groups. Staff's knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy were assessed before, immediately after, and 3 months after the program. Total knowledge improved significantly in all participants. For RNs, attitudes toward residents with disruptive behaviors and self-efficacy in managing these behaviors also improved, but these improvements were not maintained. These findings indicate that cognition is not the only factor influencing attitudes and self-efficacy.
