Abstract

Older adults in small residential care facilities are at a high risk of fire death and injury because of their characteristics and environment. The authors investigated computer-based instruction as a way to teach fire emergency planning to caregivers from small residential care facilities. Study participants (N=59) who completed the training significantly improved their scores from pretest to posttest when compared to a control group. Participants indicated on the course evaluation that the computers were easy to use (97%) and that they would like to use computers for future training courses (97%).
