| Annotation | Practice skills are believed to improve practice, however little is known about the extent to which skills affect outcomes. This exploratory study examined the extent to which three practice skills specific to a care management context for family caregivers, including communication skills, supportive skills, and linking skills, were associated with process fidelity, or the extent to which care managers accurately implement a care management process. 21 care managers who used a single process to serve 113 family caregivers were included in the study. Bivariate correlation analysis revealed the three practice skills are positively associated with process fidelity. Implications for social work practice, education and research are discussed. (JL). |
