Summary
This study shows that an evidence-based practice (EBP) training program improved school nurses' knowledge and self-efficacy in Taiwan. While skills initially improved, they slightly declined at follow-up, indicating a need for reinforcement.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Public Health
Background:
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for high-quality patient care and outcomes.
- Limited research exists on EBP adoption and implementation among school nurses in Taiwan.
- Understanding EBP integration in school nursing is vital for advancing practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an EBP training program for school nurses in Taiwan.
- To assess the program's impact on nurses' knowledge, attitudes, skills, and self-efficacy.
- To explore the implementation of EBP training using mobile learning and flipped classroom methods.
Main Methods:
- A pretest-posttest research design was utilized.
- 193 school nurses from primary schools in Tao-Yuan and New Taipei City participated.
- Data were collected using the School Nurse Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire at three time points (pre-test, immediate post-test, 3-month follow-up).
Main Results:
- Participant knowledge and self-efficacy scores significantly increased throughout the study.
- Skill scores improved from pre-test to immediate post-test but decreased at the 3-month follow-up.
- The EBP program demonstrated overall improvements in knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy.
Conclusions:
- The EBP training program positively impacted school nurses' knowledge and self-efficacy.
- Sustaining skill improvements requires further investigation and potential reinforcement strategies.
- Findings can inform the development of innovative EBP curricula for school nursing.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
2.9K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.1K
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.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.

2.4K
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,...
