A program on complementary therapies for long-term care nursing assistants.

Nursing assistants (NAs) receive insufficient support in the face of heavy workloads and challenging job demands. This article describes a course on complementary therapies (CTs) intended to improve NAs' quality of life by helping them plan, develop, implement, and evaluate CTs. Future studies may examine the impact, if any, such courses have on recruitment and retention.

A decision theoretic methodology for severity index development.

Severity indices are a key element in evaluation of health programs. But the methodologies used in development of such indices are rarely clearly defined. Moreover, there have been no tests of transportability of the index development methodologies that do exist, so there is no guarantee that panels of physicians convened by different facilitators would produce indices with similar performance characteristics. This paper describes a replicable index development strategy, a heart disease severity index developed by using that methodology, and a test of that methodology's transportability.
