Background:

Internet-based training for nurse aides (NAs) in long-term care facilities (LTCs) has demonstrated effectiveness.
Limited understanding exists regarding the impact of online training on NAs in real-world settings and the sustained use of such programs.
Replication of previous findings in a non-research context is crucial for validating training efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of an internet-based training program ('Caring Skills: Working with Mental Illness') for NAs in LTCs.
To assess the feasibility and perceived benefits of online training in a practical, non-research setting.
To explore the continued utilization of the training program by NAs and other staff.

Main Methods:

A replication study was conducted across three LTCs, implementing the 'Caring Skills: Working with Mental Illness' internet training.
All NAs within each facility received the training over consecutive months.
Supervisors were interviewed post-training regarding their experiences with organization and oversight.

Main Results:

Significant pre-post-test improvements were observed in NAs' situational knowledge, self-efficacy, and mental illness knowledge, with large effect sizes.
Participants highly rated the program, believing it would enhance resident care quality.
Supervisors reported positive feedback and observed NAs adopting recommended training behaviors, though broader staff utilization remained low.

Conclusions:

Internet-based training for NAs in LTCs is a feasible and perceived beneficial approach to improving resident care.
While initial training shows positive outcomes, strategies for sustained utilization and dissemination to all staff are necessary for long-term impact.
Effective planning for staff training on the internet should incorporate mechanisms for continued engagement and best practice integration.
