| Annotation | PANICOA, Preventing Abuse and Neglect in Institutional Care of Older Adults is a research initiative to enhance dignity in care homes and hospitals, which is jointly funded by the Department of Health (DH) and Comic Relief. It follows on from the 2005 national prevalence study of the abuse and neglect of older people living in the community. This Promoting excellence in all care homes (PEACH) study aimed to explore the needs, knowledge and practices of the care home workforce in relation to abuse, neglect and loss of dignity. This draft report comprises a qualitative study, in the course of which dissatisfaction with both the content and delivery of much existing training was identified by staff, residents and relatives. Topics thought to be inadequately covered by current training included dignity, respectful communication, responding appropriately to the needs of people with dementia, and end of life care. The report also includes preliminary evaluation of an evidence-based training package based on the study's findings. (RH). |
