Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Student Support Services
Academic Intervention

Background:

Nursing education presents rigorous challenges, leading to significant concerns regarding student retention and attrition.
At-risk students in baccalaureate nursing programs often require targeted support to succeed.
Existing support systems may not adequately address the unique difficulties faced by nursing students.

Purpose of the Study:

To implement and evaluate a peer-based mentor tutor program (PMTP) for at-risk students in a traditional baccalaureate nursing program.
To assess the impact of the PMTP on academic outcomes, specifically course grades.
To determine the effectiveness of peer mentorship in improving the success rates of nursing students.

Main Methods:

A peer-based mentor tutor program (PMTP) was implemented, providing weekly sessions for students in the first four semesters.
Scholarship incentives were offered to student participants, with funding covering training and materials.
Criteria were established for selecting peer mentors-tutors and identifying at-risk students.
Course grades (summative and final) were compared between an intervention group (participating in PMTP) and a control group.

Main Results:

Students participating in the PMTP intervention group achieved significantly higher summative grades compared to the control group.
The intervention group also demonstrated significantly higher final grades than the control group.
The findings indicate a positive correlation between the PMTP and improved academic performance in nursing education.

Conclusions:

A peer-based mentor tutor program is an effective strategy for enhancing academic outcomes in baccalaureate nursing students.
Targeted interventions like PMTP can mitigate attrition and improve retention rates among at-risk nursing students.
Investing in peer mentorship programs can lead to measurable improvements in student success within demanding academic fields.
