Effect of an incontinence training program on nursing home staff's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.

To test a behavioral approach for urinary incontinence (UI), 166 staff in four nursing homes participated in a quasi-experimental study that measured knowledge and attitudes about UI and compliance with toileting protocols. The intervention group (N = 96) showed a slight increase in knowledge; their attitudes remained positive over the four testing times. Compliance with the more critical component of the toileting protocol was only 72%, although evidence existed that the protocol reduced UI. Results are discussed in terms of the sociocultural environment of nursing homes.

The health agency training program: continuing education courses in biostatistics and epidemiology.

The authors describe the development and evaluation of a continuing education program in biostatistics and epidemiology. Short courses were presented to public health and mental health professionals using teaching strategies that included lecture, discussion, practice-oriented examples, and interactive problem-solving. A total of 1723 health professionals attended one or more of the 120 courses presented from 1992 to 1996 in seven US states. Most course participants were female: the highest education level for 40% was a bachelor's degree, while 42% had advanced degrees. Approximately 66% of participants signed up for continuing education credits. The program represents a successful partnership between an academic institution and health agencies in a seven-state region.

Behavior therapy in a gait-training program for a child with myelomeningocele. A case report.

A behavior therapy program consisting of positive reinforcement contingent upon walking with braces and crutches was conducted with a four and one-half-year-old child with myelomeningocele. Behavioral physical therapy was begun first in the clinic setting and then in the home. Follow-up clinic assessments document maintenance of functionally independent ambulation over a seven-month period. The results support the efficacy of using behavioral techniques in a physical therapy program for a child with myelomeningocele. The need for further research and development of physical therapy programs using behavioral techniques is briefly discussed.
