changes in caregiving behaviors The participant’s abilities to respond to disruptive behaviors combined with increases in selfefficacy and role mastery upon completion of the skills training programs is demonstrated in this single site project with a small sample size of seven participants. This pilot program, with its baseline evidence, supports current evidence-based nursing research, can be expanded to meet the needs of interdisciplinary team members, is reusable in various formats and settings and can be revised to meet all levels of literacy.
