Objective In response to the prevalent issue of insufficient professional quality among nursing staff working in care homes,this study aims to conduct a foundational assessment using the"Medical and Elderly Care Integration Institution Elderly Care Staff Professional Quality Assessment Scale"based on the job competency theory,and then investigate the effective-ness of the"333"tiered training model following the initial assessment.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 160 caregivers from care homes in Wuxi.The caregivers were equally divided into an experimental group and a control group.A baseline assessment of professional competence was conducted using the professional quality assessment indicator system before training.The experimental group was treated with a tiered training model and training program,which were proposed using literature research and questionnaire survey methods and according to the results of baseline professional quality assessment.The control group did not undergo tiered training,but took the same training program as in the experimental group.SPSS 21.0 soft-ware was used for analysing the training outcome data.Results By comparison,the experimental group showed significantly re-duced learning time and had significantly higher assessment scores.The satisfaction degree of the elderly people and the caregiv-ers of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group.The satisfaction ratings with training course design,training methods,and information-based teaching in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group.Conclusion Assessing the professional quality of medical and elderly caregivers is essential for tired training.Tiered training is an effective way to improve the quality and efficiency of training,and a complete training organization system and a sound management mechanism are essential guarantees for implementing tiered training.
