项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed research is to reduce the incidence of fire-related deaths and injuries in board and care facilities for the elderly through the development and distribution of a comprehensive and validated web-based training program. Older adults in small residential board and care facilities are at a particularly high risk of fire death and injury. Research has shown that lack of training is one of leading factors contributing to loss of life in fires in these facilities. This project will make important contributions toward reducing fire deaths and injuries by providing facilities with ways to expand training opportunities. Web technology is currently underutilized despite the great promise that it offers and the enormous need for training that exists. Web-based training can reduce many of the existing barriers for delivering training, allowing providers to complete the program at their own facilities to receive continuing education credits from their state licensing agencies. A comprehensive, interactive web-based fire safety training program will give caregivers the knowledge and skills they need to prevent fire and to respond correctly in a fire emergency. The program will include interaction, animation, video, graphics and narration to create a media-rich learning environment. This project will measure the short and long-term effects of web-based fire safety training on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of board and care owners, operators, and staff through Phase I pilot testing and a Phase II national field test.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的目的是通过开发和分发一项全面且经过验证的基于Web的培训计划，以减少老年人在董事会和护理机构中与火灾相关的死亡和伤害的发生率。小型住宅委员会和护理设施的老年人处于火灾死亡和伤害的风险特别高。研究表明，缺乏培训是导致这些设施火灾生命丧失的主要因素之一。该项目将通过为设施提供扩大培训机会的方法来为减少火灾死亡和伤害做出重要贡献。尽管它提供了巨大的希望以及存在的巨大培训需求，但目前的Web技术目前仍未得到充分利用。基于Web的培训可以减少提供培训的许多现有障碍，从而使提供者可以在自己的设施中完成该计划，从而从其州许可机构获得继续教育的信用。一项全面的，基于网络的消防安全培训计划将为护理人员提供预防火灾并在火灾紧急情况下正确做出反应所需的知识和技能。该程序将包括互动，动画，视频，图形和叙述，以创建媒体丰富的学习环境。该项目将通过I期飞行员测试和II期国家实地考试对基于Web的消防安全培训对董事会和护理所有者，运营商和员工的知识，态度和实践的短期和长期影响。
