Impact of Education Program on Hospital-Based Nursing Professional Development (NPD) Practitioner Self-Efficacy
Journal for Nurses in Professional Development
|March 18, 2025
Summary
Nursing Professional Development (NPD) practitioners showed improved self-efficacy after an educational intervention addressing teaching skills. This role-based education boosted confidence and performance, bridging knowledge gaps.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Professional Development
- Healthcare Workforce Training
Background:
- Knowledge and skill gaps exist among hospital-based Nursing Professional Development (NPD) practitioners in teaching principles and methodologies.
- These deficits can negatively impact practitioner performance and, consequently, their self-efficacy (SE).
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the impact of a targeted educational intervention on the self-efficacy of NPD practitioners.
- To determine if addressing knowledge gaps in teaching strategies enhances practitioner confidence and performance.
Main Methods:
- A quasiexperimental pre- and posttest design was employed.
- An educational intervention focused on teaching principles, strategies, and methodologies was administered to NPD practitioners.
Main Results:
- A statistically significant increase in self-efficacy was observed post-intervention (p < .001).
- The educational program demonstrated a positive effect on practitioner confidence and perceived abilities.
Conclusions:
- Role-based education is an effective strategy for bridging knowledge and skill gaps in NPD practitioners.
- Targeted interventions can enhance NPD practitioner self-efficacy, contributing to improved professional practice.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
1.6K
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,...

Nursing Evaluation
3.2K
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.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
