| Annotation | This controlled intervention was a pilot study that examined the impact of a brief training programme on 40 care workers in north-esst England. The 6-week course (one hour per week) produced significant changes in the staff's attitude and knowledge base. No change was evident for their coping style. In accounting for the results, this article presents a qualitative analysis of the process features underpinning the improvements. The training used an integrative approach, combining cognitive behavioural and experiential learning methods. (RH). |
