About This Project
This excerpt describes the project in one paragraph.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services mandates annual dementia training for nursing home (NH) staff. What is not known is how this training translates into the dementia knowledge and attitudes of staff or how this knowledge relates to staff turnover. In addition, previous research has shown that the ability of NH staff to turn training into practice is predicated on the facility’s organizational culture. The purpose of this study is to use data from the National Dementia Workforce Study nursing home survey to examine the relationships between staff dementia knowledge and attitudes, facility culture, and staff turnover.
Aims
Aim 1: Examine the relationship between staff dementia knowledge and attitudes and staff turnover.
Aim 2: Develop a composite measure of facility culture and describe the relationship between facility culture and staff turnover.
