Summary
This scoping review identifies effective teaching methods and content for emergency room nurse triage education. Tailored educational programs are crucial for improving triage accuracy and patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Accurate emergency room (ER) triage is critical for patient outcomes and resource allocation.
- Triage nurses require specialized education to effectively classify patient severity.
- Developing targeted triage education is essential for enhancing ER nursing practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify key teaching methods, content, and intervention characteristics for triage education.
- To outline considerations for the initial educational design of triage programs for nurses.
- To inform the development of effective triage education for ER nurses.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review was conducted.
- Searched databases included PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, and RISS.
- Studies were selected based on keywords: nurses, triage, education, emergency services, and hospital, adhering to Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.
Main Results:
- Twenty studies were included, covering various patient populations and disease types.
- Face-to-face (55%) and non-face-to-face (30%) education methods were utilized.
- Teaching strategies encompassed teacher-centered and student-centered approaches, including lectures, simulations, and flipped learning.
- Outcomes measured included triage accuracy, knowledge, performance, self-efficacy, and satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Triage education encompasses diverse content and methods for severity classification.
- Effective program design requires careful planning of objectives, target population, needs assessment, and teaching strategies.
- Future triage education should be individualized and adaptable to various implementation scenarios.

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

4.3K
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

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:
