| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the group work training program to develop social workers' knowledge of creative methods in maintaining elderly people's life quality. Eighteen social workers were assigned as one group pre- posttest design, (intentional sample from social workers at the association) working at the social care association in Karmouz, Alexandria which has twenty four residents. The 18 social workers were asked to complete three forms of measurement (pre, post and following). Firstly, a measurement was used to assess the social workers’ knowledge of the creative methods to maintain elderly people's life quality. Secondly, the observation form assessed the changes in residents at the elderly care home during the experiment. The social workers in the experimental group were introduced to the group work training program to develop their knowledge of creative methods in maintaining elderly people’s life quality. The intervention lasted for 15 weeks. The results emphasise the success of the group work training program to develop social workers' knowledge of creative methods in maintaining elderly people's life quality | ||
