Background:
According to the "National Nursing Development Plan (2021-2025)" issued by the National Health Commission of China, it was crucial to address the limited research available on rehabilitation nursing training. By 2025, it was expected that at least 90% of urgently needed professional nurses, including rehabilitation nursing, would participate in training. Therefore, it was necessary to explore the effects of rehabilitation nursing training for clinical nurses and provide reference suggestions for rehabilitation nursing training.
Methods:
The Kirkpatrick model was used as an evaluation tool to conduct a questionnaire survey of 79 clinical nurses who participated in the 5th term of rehabilitation nursing training in Shandong Province. Paired t tests, factor analysis, and qualitative interviews were used to analyze the participants' responses, learning styles, behaviors, and results. Four levels were used to evaluate training effectiveness.
Results:
The overall satisfaction rate of the trainees was high. There were significant differences in theoretical scores, operational examination scores and related nursing abilities before and after training; these scores before training were significantly lower than scores after training (P < 0.05). Four themes were extracted from the semi structured interviews: improving relevant capabilities, optimizing training, improving safety management awareness and crisis awareness, and expanding career development space.
Conclusions:
Rehabilitation nursing training significantly improved the rehabilitation skills and knowledge of clinical nurses. Therefore, it was recommended that the methods and programs used in this study be adopted for the rehabilitation nursing training of clinical nurses in all specialty areas of nursing to improve their nursing skills.
