Development and evaluation of a nursing educational program: A quasi-experimental study
1Dokkyo Medical University, School of Nursing, Shimotsugagun, Tochigi 321-0293, Japan.
Background:
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are transmitted through the hands of healthcare workers who touch the environments of patients with MDROs. Patients identified as being infected with MDROs are subjected to contact precautions and isolated in a single room. Nurses need to have the correct knowledge of infection prevention and be interested in the psychological conditions of isolated patients with MDROs.
Aim:
To develop and evaluation of an education program for nurses to emphasize the psychological care of isolated patients with MDROs.
Design:
To evaluate the effectiveness of the educational program, this study employed a quasi-experimental design.
Participants And Setting:
Seventy-eight nurses working in inpatient wards at four medical facilities were assigned to the program participant group (N = 25) and the non-participant group (N = 53).
Methods:
This experimental study utilized the five steps of the ADDIE instructional model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) to design an educational program. The first step was to identify educational needs. The next steps were to design the program and develop educational materials. In the fourth step, training on infection control measures for MDROs and psychological care for patients with MDROs in isolation was conducted. Finally, in the fifth step, the effectiveness of the educational program was evaluated by scoring on expected behaviors to improve the psychological state of patients in isolation.
Results:
The program participants group exhibited behavioral changes and attitudes that observed physiological and psychological responses related to patient anxiety and depression (p < .05).
Conclusions:
The education program increased the understanding of the psychological state of patients with MDROs and the observation of physiological and psychological reactions. This suggests that an education program based on ID is likely to have the potential to change nurses' behavior to improve the quality of care for patients with isolated infections.
