    This study introduces a self-care model to train nursing home CNAs in infection control. By recognizing personal illness cues, CNAs better detect infections in residents, improving overall care and safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Infection Control
    • Nursing Education

    Background:

    • Nursing home residents are susceptible to acute infectious illnesses.
    • Effective infection control requires early detection of subtle changes in residents.
    • Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are crucial in frontline resident care and monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a self-care model for teaching infection control to CNAs in nursing homes.
    • To enhance CNAs' ability to detect acute infectious illnesses in elderly residents.
    • To utilize self-care principles as a motivational strategy for CNAs.

    Main Methods:

    • The model begins with understanding personal feelings and bodily changes during illness.
    • It progresses to recognizing factors influencing elderly residents' perception of illness.

  • Training focuses on empathic detection of common infectious illness presentations in residents.

    • Main Results:

    • CNAs can learn to detect acute illness by first understanding their own self-care and illness cues.
    • The model fosters greater knowledge and self-confidence in CNAs regarding infection control.
    • Empathic detection of changes associated with infectious illnesses is improved.

    Conclusions:

    • A self-care model effectively teaches infection control to CNAs.
    • Empowering CNAs with self-awareness enhances their capacity for resident illness detection.
    • This approach improves infection control practices in nursing home settings.
