| Annotation | Training staff in long-term care settings is relatively new in the US. In a search of the literature using databases, manual searches of journals, the bibliographies of retrieved articles, and information from key informants, 48 studies met this review's selection criteria. The authors note that because of the lack of follow-up evaluation, there is minimal evidence that knowledge gained from training courses is sustained in the long term. Most studies do not consider organisational and system factors when planning and implementing training initiatives. This may account for difficulties encountered in the sustained transfer of knowledge to practice. (RH). |
