Keith, Pat M.
Educational Gerontology, v26 n3 p249-60 Apr-May 2000
A survey of 754 older adults serving as ombudsmen in nursing facilities found that formal education and follow-up training enhanced efficacy. Negative initial training was the most important influence on diminished efficacy. Those with higher efficacy and more positive initial training expressed less worry. (SK)
