Feasibility of testing a coaching training intervention for CNAs in nursing homes

The study aim was to describe the feasibility of conducting a coaching training intervention on use of level of assistance strategies for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in nursing homes. CNAs received either traditional or coaching training. Feasibility of coaching training was evaluated by determining: acceptability, through use of a Post-Intervention Evaluation Form; fidelity, by adherence to protocol; recruitment and retention, by ease of obtaining the sample and retention rates; and ability to randomize within each home without contamination.
