Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

4.0K
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:

  • Digital Health
  • Knowledge Mobilization
  • Student Mental Health

Background:

  • Postsecondary students in Canada face prevalent mental health challenges.
  • Existing support systems often fail to reach students due to barriers like lack of awareness and relevance.
  • Canada's Student Mental Health Network aims to bridge these gaps with a student-centric, web-based platform.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a formative, process evaluation of Canada's Student Mental Health Network.
  • To assess the acceptability and feasibility of the Network as a mental health promotion resource for students.
  • To gather initial data after approximately one year of operation.

Main Methods:

  • A concurrent mixed methods study design was employed.
  • Quantitative data (website traffic, user engagement) were collected via Google Analytics.
  • Qualitative data were gathered through individual digital interviews with students (n=8).

Main Results:

  • The Network attracted 1200 global users in its first year, with 90% from Canada.
  • A 66% engagement rate was observed, with users visiting an average of 7 pages per session.
  • Qualitative feedback highlighted positive user experience, relevance, and accessibility, with suggestions for improvement.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides evidence supporting the feasibility and acceptability of the Network.
  • The web-based initiative is a viable tool for supporting postsecondary students' mental health and well-being.
  • Future research will focus on a summative impact assessment.
