Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators are planning to do a cluster randomized trial to test the effect of different educational programs for staff according to nursing home patients FI (fecal incontinence). Since there are very few published trials of treatment of FI in older people, and no rigorously evaluated studies on interventions for FI in nursing homes, or rigorously evaluated continence education program for staff concerning continence care, a pilot study is necessary. The aim for the pilot study is to evaluate feasibility, acceptability and adherence according to the educational intervention, methods used and outcome measures. This is designed to be an external pilot study. External pilot studies are small scale versions of the main study which are not intended to be part of the main study. The pilot intervention period is 3 month.

Behavioral:
Educational and counselling program
Educational and counselling program: In addition to educational meeting and printed educational material the investigators will include the use of local opinion leaders and educational outreach . Local opinion leaders are defined as "use of providers nominated by their colleges as educationally influential". Opinion leadership is the degree to which an individual is able to influence other individual's attitudes or overt behavior informally in a desired way with relative frequency. Educational outreach is defined as "use of a trained person who meets with providers in their practice setting to give information with the intent of changing the providers practice."
Educational program
Educational program: Educational meeting and printed educational material Educational meeting is defined as "participation of healthcare providers in conference, lectures, workshops or traineeships". The investigators want to organize the educational meetings as an interactive workshop that target knowledge, attitudes, and skills at the individual healthcare professional/peer group level. Printed educational material is defined as "distribution of published or printed recommendations for clinical care, including clinical practice guidelines". In general, printed educational material target knowledge and potential skill gaps of individual healthcare professionals.
