Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The Lincolnshire Care Association are setting up a falls ambassador programme designed to provide ongoing support and learning for care homes on falls management. Exploring what this programme involves, what topics are covered and identified by care homes and whether they feel more confident in managing falls will help other areas in setting up similar programmes.
This research will explore the key attributes of the Lincolnshire Falls ambassador programme and explore whether it supports care home staff to feel more confident in managing falls by asking staff about their confidence before and after, observing the topics that are covered in the group meetings and by interviewing members of the programme after it has been established.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The following objectives will be achieved:
Describe the key activities of the programme. Identify the key themes of the discussions and shared learning. Explore whether care staff feel more confident in falls management. Identify barriers and facilitators to delivering the programme.
Survey: Pre and post survey of care home staff confidence. The survey will be distributed electronically using MS Forms by the programme leader at the start of the programme and after the programme. The survey will take up to 15 minutes to complete.
Interviews: Interviews with care home staff that have attended the programme to explore their learning and confidence. These will be undertaken face-to-face at a location convenient to the participant or over the telephone. With consent the interviews will be audio recorded and transcribed. If the participant prefers written field notes will be taken. The written transcripts and field notes will be classed as source data and retained. Any audit recording will be deleted to avoid retaining any personal identifiable information.
Observations: Observation of group meetings as part of the programme to identify the key areas of learning. The researcher will attend the meeting which will be either face-to-face or online. Field notes will be taken by the researcher and retained as source data.
