Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the training effectiveness and behavior towards the elderly of 180 caregiver trainees.
Methods: Data were collected from five caregiver training institutions located in G city. All subjects were surveyed about the training effectiveness and behavior towards the elderly by using the Training Effectiveness Scale and the Behavior towards the Elderly Scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 12.0 program.
Results: The study subjects gained a training effectiveness score of 3.84 out of 5 points and a behavior towards the elderly score 3.40 out of 4 points. The training effectiveness differed significantly depending on subject’s characteristics, intention to work as a caregiver, and hours of training. There were significant differences in behavior towards the elderly depending on their age and hours of training. The training effectiveness was significantly correlated with the level of behavior towards the elderly.
Conclusion: These findings demonstrated the necessity of developing a level of educational training that will help improve caregiver trainees’ care by positively changing their behavior towards the elderly.
