Affective training for teachers of psychotic children.

A group inservice training program for teachers of psychotic children is described. Special emphasis is given to the teacher's emotional needs in dealing with these very difficult children. The training is designed to enhance mutual support and the acceptance of feelings associated with working with psychotic children. Teachers who worked alone or without the benefit of a supportive team responded most enthusiastically to the group training. All teachers felt their emotional needs for support, self-confidence, and acceptance were important factors in their functioning with their students and that the training met those needs.

Inservice pharmacy technician training program.

The development and implementation of a two-month inservice training program for hospital pharmacy supportive personnel is discussed. A task-oriented approach was used to define the instructional objectives of the program. To emphasize the job-related nature of the instruction, conferences and workshops were selected as the primary teaching methods. A specific instructional plan was designed for drug conferences, giving the trainee an active role in the learning of drug names and dosage forms. On-the-job experience, comprising 30% of the training time, gradually was incorporated into the program. Staff pharmacists and supervisors assumed the teaching responsibilities. During weekly evaluation sessions with each trainee, the coodinator discussed the trainee's performance, pin-pointed deficiencies and suggested means of improvement. The benefits of the program, in terms of selection and sequence of instructional programs, student assessment and program evaluation, are discussed.

Behavioral science and family practice: a status report.

The purpose of this study was to assess the current status of behavioral science instruction in family practice residency training programs. The primary areas of interest were: (1) characteristics of those who teach behavioral science (number of persons teaching behavioral science by discipline and academic degree, number and percent of time behavioral science personnel employed, work responsibilities, academic unit responsible for instruction, description of those who provide inservice training in behavioral science ), (2) the relative importance of various behavioral science topics as perceived by faculty/staff (21 topics), and (3) preferred methods of instruction. The data revealed a wide variety of persons involved in behavioral science instruction, a strong emphasis placed on communication and counseling skills, and similar, but not innovative, teaching methods used for behavioral science instruction.

A survey of rural community mental health needs and resources.

The authors conducted a survey of 215 rural community mental health centers across the country to determine their unique problems, needs, and resources. From the 92 responses they received, they formulated a composite description of the rural mental health scene. Their description focuses on services offered, skills required to operate effective rural programs, and problems in the delivery of care and of evaluation. From the responses they also analyzed the extent of inservice training available to rural practitioners, the support systems needed, and the functions a proposed national task force on rural mental health could perform.

The efficacy of programmed instruction in the training of paraprofessionals.

The authors assessed the efficacy of a self-instructional psychiatric learning program to provide training for paraprofessional psychiatric personnel. The self-regulated learning system, which originally was developed to train medical students, was designed to impart basic psychiatric knowledge and diagnostic skills. Changes along personality dimensions that occurred as a function of participating in the programmed learning project also were examined. Participation in this program was associated with substantial pre-post changes in dogmatism and locus of control for males as well as significant increments in psychiatric knowledge and diagnostic skills for the group as a whole. The benefits derived from this easily administered training procedure suggest its feasible inclusion in paraprofessional inservice training programs.

Inclusion of a program of instruction in care of the disabled in a dental school curriculum.

Lack of practitioner training is considered a major reason for dental neglect of disabled persons. The feasibility of instruction in the care of the disabled for dental and dental hygiene students at the undergraduate level was demonstrated in a prototype program encompassing a continuum of didactic courses, clinical experiences in extramural and intramural settings, inservice training and continuing education, interdisciplinary activities, and evaluative research. Successful implementation of such a program required developing and using appropriate support systems, such as instructional materials, social services, public relations, and monitoring of care delivery. A format combining specific courses with inclusion of disability subject matter in existing courses appeared to be advantageous in intergrating the program into the dental curriculum. Evaluation data indicated the value of undergraduate training in improving access to dental care for the disabled patient.

A community-oriented center for severely and profoundly retarded children.

A center established three years ago to provide local residential services for severely and profoundly retarded children has developed programs that give the residents a high level of interaction with direct-care staff members and with the community. At the Elisabeth Ludeman Center, children live in groups of eight or fewer in four-bedroom homes served by neighborhood centers. In various community-oriented programs, high school students are trained for jobs as half-time technicians. Ludeman residents are placed half days in a community development center, part-time services are provided at Ludeman for clients of other agencies, and community members come to the center as volunteer instructors or as users of Ludeman facilities. A key part of the center's program is an audiovisual service used extensively for inservice training and staff communication.

Continuing education: an attitudinal survey of physical therapists.

A descriptive study of 903 physical therapists located primarily in southeastern United States was undertaken to determine their attitudes toward continuing education and the types of course offerings they desired. A majority of physical therapists kept themselves up-to-date in professional practice, mainly through discussion with colleagues, study groups, and inservice training sessions. The continuing education courses they preferred were comparatively recent topics in physical therapy education--such as musculoskeletal assessment and mobilization--specific neurophysiological approaches to treatment of adults and children, and administration. The study also revealed the preferred schedule, length, type, and cost of continuing education courses, as well as the amount of advance notice preferred and willingness to complete preassigned readings. The main problem that respondents had in participating in continuing education was that courses did not fit into their schedules. A majority of respondents favored mandatory continuing education for relicensure.

Organizing a staff development department: the Fort Logan Model.

The staff development department at the Fort Logan Mental Health Center in Denver was created to increase interdisciplinary coordination and participation in student- and continuing-education programs. A great deal of interdisciplinary competition was evident at the beginning. Eventually, continued interaction and expanding needs for members' skills eliminated most competition, and staff were able to learn from one another. Most of the staff now have multiple capabilities and are effective not only in teaching but also in systems intervention. The department's services include a preservice program, which is responsible for student and professional training programs; inservice- and continuing-education programs; and a consultation program.

Developing a psychiatric inpatient service in a rural area.

An inpatient psychiatric service was developed in a community hospital in Appalachia by building on the hospital's existing mental health components, a comprehensive alcoholism program and an inservice training program for general-duty nurses. In its first phase, the program offered a consultation service to help physicians deal with emotional problems of medical-surgical patients and a daytime therapy program for selected patients referred by the consultation service. In the second phase, psychiatric patients were admitted directly from the community and placed in wards throughout the hospital. Eventually a separate 23-bed psychiatric unit was opened. Between 1973 and 1976 more than 2200 patients were treated by the therapy service or as psychiatric inpatients. The author discusses problems that occurred during each phase of development, including a continuing shortage of nursing staff.

Sexuality of nurses: correlations of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.

In a study of relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and statements of nursing behavior about sexuality, degree of comfort with sexual situations was measured with a Professional Sexual Role Inventory (PSRI), using ridit analysis. The PSRI and the Sex Knowledge and Attitude Test were administered in groups to 107 professional family planning nurses and 64 senior nursing students. The major hypothesis--the more knowledge a nurse has of human sexuality, the more favorable will be her attitude toward it and the more comfortable she will be in professional situations with sexual overtones--was supported. Significant positive correlations between sexual knowledge and attitudes and written responses indicated comfort in handling sexual situations. Analyses of variance of the test scores--by age, race, marital status, religion, religiosity, frequency of church attendance, and urbanization--demonstrated areas of sexuality which might be incorporated into nursing inservice training and education.

The development of rural laboratory services in Papua New Guinea.

The health service of Papua New Guinea is targeted at village level primary health care, through aid posts and health centres. There is an increasing demand for providing these facilities with basic diagnostic laboratory services at the health centre level. To accomplish this, an inservice training program has been established to train existing health workers in specific laboratory skills. A management support scheme has also been instigated to ensure that the most effective use is made of these laboratory-trained staff. This has created a team of rural laboratory workers to support the clinical management of patients in rural locations throughout Papua New Guinea.
