Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

4.6K
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
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Prelicensure nursing students require robust evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge for effective clinical decision-making.
  • Assessing the impact of dedicated EBP education is crucial for curriculum development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an EBP course in enhancing prelicensure nursing students' knowledge.
  • To determine the retention of EBP knowledge one year after course completion.

Main Methods:

  • A new instrument was utilized to measure EBP knowledge.
  • Knowledge assessment occurred at three time points: pre-course, immediately post-course, and one year post-course.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant increase in EBP knowledge was observed immediately following the course.
  • EBP knowledge levels were maintained one year after course completion, indicating sustained learning.

Conclusions:

  • The EBP course effectively improved and sustained knowledge among prelicensure nursing students.
  • Faculty can use these findings to validate the EBP course's role in preparing future nurses.
