Summary
A competency-based nursing education (CBNE) curriculum significantly improved nursing educators' knowledge in adult learning principles and management. The program demonstrated high participant satisfaction, highlighting its practical applicability in enhancing healthcare quality.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Workforce Development
Background:
- Nurses are the largest healthcare group, making their competence vital for quality care.
- This study focuses on enhancing nursing educators' knowledge of core competencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a competency-based nursing education (CBNE) curriculum's effectiveness.
- To improve nursing educators' knowledge of essential practice competencies.
Main Methods:
- A tailored CBNE program was developed using Kern's 6-step model and Delphi technique.
- The program was delivered online to senior nursing educators in Odisha, India.
- Evaluation utilized the Kirkpatrick training model.
Main Results:
- Thirty nursing educators participated, with a mean age of 45.26 years.
- Significant knowledge gains were observed in adult learning principles (d=0.94, P=0.04) and management/leadership (d=0.94, P=0.016).
- Participants reported high satisfaction (median score of 5/5).
Conclusions:
- The CBNE program was successfully developed, implemented, and evaluated in India.
- The curriculum significantly enhanced key nursing competencies.
- High participant satisfaction underscores the program's relevance and practical value.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
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, patient...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
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 insulin...
01:15Nursing Implementation
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.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
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.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
