Nighttime Postural Care: Caregiver Training Program and Outcome Measure Feasibility

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice

In brief

This experimental study investigated the feasibility of a sleep care positioning training protocol by comparing two educational interventions using a randomized control design. The overarching Population Intervention Comparison Outcomes (PICO) question was: Is the training protocol feasible for use in training caregivers? Question one includes the following sub questions: A. Is there a difference in perceived competence to implement aspects of nighttime postural care intervention or observed ability to position the person in a sleep system between caregivers receiving one training program versus another? B. Does the training protocol prepare caregivers to implement nighttime postural care (NTPC).
