Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

Practicing surgeons prefer diverse training for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) skills. A combination of mentorship and short courses, alongside new technologies, is ideal for continuing professional development (CPD).

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Continuing Professional Development
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • The optimal continuing professional development (CPD) model for advanced minimally invasive surgery (MIS) skills transfer to practicing surgeons remains undefined.
  • Current training methods may not fully meet the needs of surgeons seeking to acquire complex MIS techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate general surgeons' attitudes toward continuing professional development (CPD) specifically for minimally invasive (MIS) colon surgery.
  • To identify preferred training modalities for acquiring advanced MIS skills among practicing surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to general surgeons in Alberta regarding their CPD preferences for MIS colon surgery.
  • The survey utilized both hard copy and email formats, with data collected and analyzed following two mailings.

Using Simulation Models to Train Clinicians in the Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Published on: August 9, 2024

Main Results:

  • A high response rate (77%) was achieved, with 71 out of 92 surgeons completing the survey.
  • The majority of surgeons (62%) received training during their practice, with short courses being the most common CPD method (82%).
  • Surgeons found short courses less helpful than mentorship (69% vs. 21% equivalent), with significant interest (61%) in comprehensive training like mini-fellowships for laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Practicing general surgeons desire varied training options, including mentorship and short courses, for acquiring MIS skills.
  • Surgeons are prepared to allocate time away from practice for professional development in MIS.
  • An integrated approach combining courses, mentorship, and technology is likely the most effective strategy for delivering CPD in MIS.
