Objective:
This study aimed to develop a chemotherapy education program for nurses using a blended learning approach led by an oncology clinical nurse specialist (CNS), and to evaluate its effects on nurses' self-efficacy, job performance, and satisfaction with the training.
Methods:
A single-arm pretest-posttest design was used, involving 26 nurses with less than three years of experience working in the oncology ward of a tertiary hospital. Data were collected from May 11 to October 15, 2023. The blended learning program, developed by a team of oncology CNSs, covered 12 topics on chemotherapy and safety management. The program consisted of one month of online learning, followed by two months of face-to-face sessions with a CNS, and included 10 self-study journals and practical checklists.
Results:
Participants showed a significant improvement in chemotherapy-related nursing performance after completing the program (t = -3.59, P = 0.001). However, no statistically significant change was observed in self-efficacy (Z = 1.50, P = 0.134). Satisfaction with the education was high, with an average rating of 4.2 out of 5.
Conclusions:
This blended learning program effectively enhanced nurses' clinical performance and educational satisfaction. Oncology CNSs played a key role as adaptable nurse educators, capable of designing and implementing evidence-based training programs in response to evolving clinical needs.
