Summary
A web-based decision support system significantly improved nursing students' care plan skills compared to traditional methods. This technology enhances educational tools for better healthcare decision-making preparation.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Care plans are essential for guiding healthcare decisions.
- Technology integration in education can enhance skill development.
- Evaluating new tools for nursing education is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of a web-based decision support system on nursing students' care plan development skills.
- To compare the effectiveness of a technology-based system versus traditional methods.
Main Methods:
- Experimental study design comparing an intervention group with a control group.
- Intervention group utilized a web-based decision support system (N-Care).
- Control group used traditional paper-based methods for care plan preparation.
Main Results:
- The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher scores in care planning and overall performance.
- Statistical analysis showed significant improvements for the experimental group (P = .002 and P = .022).
- Students reported positive experiences and a desire to continue using the N-Care system.
Conclusions:
- Web-based decision support systems effectively enhance nursing students' care planning abilities.
- Technology-based educational tools offer a superior alternative to traditional methods in nursing education.
- The N-Care system shows promise for improving nursing student competency in care plan development.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

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.
