The training and education of nurses working in stroke care
1Stroke Unit, Nottingham Unversity Hospitals Trust.
Abstract:
The National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke (2004) recommend that patients are cared for by staff who have expertise in stroke rehabilitation and access to relevant educational programmes. However, they provide only limited information as to the content and delivery of such programmes and recommend that such decisions are made at a local level. This must inevitably lead to the duplication of efforts and variations in standards and content across national services. This literature review hopes to identify how the content and delivery of educational programmes for nurses on stroke units meet the needs of their role, impact on their practice and influence patient outcomes. It is expected that the findings will be valuable in the development of ongoing training programmes and may contribute to a cohesive approach at national level.
