Nurse Education in Practice
|November 28, 2008
Summary
This initiative developed an Evidence Based Practice course, enhancing patient care through practical skills and fostering collaboration between nursing colleges and hospitals. The course successfully improved healthcare effectiveness and student learning.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Management
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Healthcare systems require demonstrable effectiveness.
- A partnership between a nursing college and hospital Trust was established.
- The need for improved patient care outcomes was identified.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an Evidence Based Practice (EBP) course.
- To achieve identifiable outcomes for enhancing patient care.
- To explore the benefits of a Trust-college partnership in healthcare education.
Main Methods:
- Students identified clinical questions for research.
- The course covered EBP concepts, information retrieval, and dissemination.
- Students presented findings to clinical staff, management, and directors.
Main Results:
- The course facilitated practical skills in EBP.
- Discussions addressed implementation strategies and resource needs.
- The initiative demonstrated success in enhancing patient care and learning.
Conclusions:
- The EBP course provided significant benefits for students, the Trust, and patient care.
- A strong partnership between healthcare providers and educational institutions is crucial.
- This collaborative model enhances healthcare effectiveness and professional development.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...
