Abstract

Abstract In this study, we collected formative data from key stakeholders (nursing home staff and leadership, dementia care experts), developed, pilot tested, and refined a 10-week remote training program at 2 VA nursing homes with 15 interprofessional staff (e.g., recreation therapists, social workers, registered nurses). Training components included weekly livestreaming didactic sessions for staff that demonstrated PLIÉ guiding principles and themes. Weekly experiential sessions, facilitated by the lead PLIÉ instructor, included staff and residents with dementia participating together online. All training sessions were video recorded and available for review along with a training manual. Staff completed weekly surveys, post-training focus groups, and expressed high confidence using 6 of 8 PLIÉ principles; 100% rated their overall training satisfaction as “very good” or “excellent.” The remote PLIÉ training was an efficient model for staff training that leveraged interprofessional knowledge and skills. This presentation includes an experiential demonstration of PLIÉ in action.
