Summary
NHS Education for Scotland
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- General Practice Nursing
- Healthcare Workforce Development
Background:
- A pilot education and skills training program was developed for nurses new to general practice.
- The program was created in collaboration with experienced general practice nurses.
- Accreditation was received from the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Nursing in 2013.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot training program for general practice nurses.
- To gather feedback for program improvement.
- To ensure the program meets the evolving needs of nurses in general practice.
Main Methods:
- The pilot program involved 12 nurses from 2012-2013, with 9 completing.
- Evaluation methods included questionnaires for participants, supervisors, and practice staff.
- Further evaluation involved analyzing program documentation and conducting participant interviews.
Main Results:
- Feedback from the evaluation led to program modifications.

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.

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.

7.2K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

2.7K
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,...
