A community-based program for family caregivers of impaired older adults was designed and implemented to teach caregiving skills and techniques. The purpose of the program was to enhance caregivers' sense of competency in performing caregiving tasks and to reduce their risk of physical strain. A gerontological nurse specialist facilitated the group process, taught, and then demonstrated the caregiving skills. Participants highly valued the opportunity to discuss specific health concerns and practice caregiving skills with a professional nurse. Similar community-based programs managed by nurses are recommended to support nonprofessional caregivers.
