Results Few study participants had been formally trained to care for people with learning disabilities, yet almost all expressed higher-than-expected levels of confidence in all areas of care. There was some variation in results, particularly in relation to psychosocial and spiritual needs. Conclusion The results suggest that while nurses in acute care have little training, informal structures have supported perceived professional development. As a result of the study, a programme of educational sessions for the nurses was launched, and relevant staff-information leaflets were designed and disseminated. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
