Abstract
Knowledgeable Nursing Assistants as Creative Caregivers (KNACC) was developed to train certified nursing assistants (CNAs) to apply arts-based techniques to enhance care and support to older adults in long-term care (LTC) settings. We piloted (n=8) KNACC techniques for use in LTC and assessed its potential for influence on the CNA outcomes of structural empowerment and job satisfaction. During preliminary implementation, CNAs working in memory care units were more open to applying all techniques. The techniques in KNACC have the potential to improve CNA skills in working with long-term care residents.
