Download or read book The A B Cs of Behavior Change written by Margaret D. Cohn and published by Venture Publishing (PA). This book was released on 1994 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the culmination of a decade's work by researchers involved with improving mental health caregiving by nursing home staffs. The purpose of this manual is to guide trainers through a program to improve the behavior management skills of nurses and aides dealing with problematic resident behavior related to disorientation, agitation, and depression. Consistent with the OBRA 1987 emphasis on using behavior management as an alternative to physical or chemical restraints, this kind of training is becoming central to the pursuit of excellence in long-term care. This book represents a skills-oriented approach. It teaches staff to observe patterns of problematic behavior, identify both triggers and consequences of those behaviors, and suggest changes in behavior management. Overhead templates and experiential exercises are included to assist the trainer's instruction.
