| Annotation | The need for training courses for US nursing home and residential care staff concerning sexuality of older people is well-reported in the literature. However, no adequate curriculum is available. This article outlines a comprehensive curriculum development process, and describes the step-by-step activities that have been completed in developing such a sexuality training curriculum. The process includes a comprehensive literature review, forming an advisory team, and conducting focus group discussions with professionals, residents and family members. Then, feedback is obtained from target populations of residential care staff; and test items, which can be used for needs assessment and course evaluation, are developed. Using information from these activities, course goals and objectives are refined, the content is pre-tested, and the final curriculum is field tested. The process, as well as the outcomes, are informative for educators. (RH). |
