| Annotation | An appreciation for the emotion work required of nursing home staff suggests that caregiver education should address the skills of emotional intelligence. Although the number of training efforts geared toward paraprofessionals is growing, few programmes address caregivers' emotional skills and fewer still have their roots in research. After providing background on resident-centred care, caring for the caregiver, and emotions in dementia, this paper describes a research-based workshop that promotes nursing home staff's skills in emotional intelligence. The workshop is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the worker's emotional responses and the second part focuses on the resident. (KJ/RH). |
