Project Details
Description
Care home managers and carers will complete a questionnaire before completing oral health training to generate an understanding of their existing knowledge, attitudes and practice in relation to the provision of oral care for older people residing in a care home setting.
A member of the research team will allocate all care staff in an individual setting to either option 1 or option 2 oral health training delivery methods.
Option 1: Viewing narrated recordings of the Public Health England Oral Health Toolkit for Adults in Care Homes carers training slides.
Option 2: Attending a face-to-face training session of the Public Health England Oral Health Toolkit for Adults in Care Homes slides.
After completing oral health training, carers will be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire which measure any self-reported changes in oral care related knowledge, attitudes and practice. There will be additional questions relating to perceptions of improved resident support, training scheduling, delivery method and a free text space so carers can provide their opinions on what went well and what can be improved.
