Summary
This study found a health program planning educational intervention acceptable and feasible for nursing faculty in Brazil. Further research is recommended to support large-scale clinical trials.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences
- Nursing Education
- Program Planning
Background:
- Health program planning is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
- Educational interventions can enhance faculty capacity in program planning.
- Nursing faculty require targeted training to improve health program planning skills.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the acceptability and feasibility of a health-related program planning educational intervention for nursing faculty in Brazil.
- To compare pre- and post-intervention knowledge levels among participants.
- To identify areas for improvement in the intervention's delivery and content.
Main Methods:
- A feasibility study was conducted with 16 nursing professors at two Brazilian universities.
- The intervention comprised pre-recorded sessions, readings, and live interactive online sessions.
- Knowledge and acceptability data were analyzed descriptively, with t-tests used to compare knowledge scores.
Main Results:
- Participants found the educational intervention acceptable and feasible.
- Concerns were raised about insufficient time due to work responsibilities.
- A need for additional question-and-answer sessions was identified to aid practical application.
Conclusions:
- The health program planning educational intervention is acceptable and feasible for nursing faculty.
- Findings support the expansion of assessment tests for a large-scale clinical trial.
- The intervention shows promise for enhancing nursing faculty's program planning capabilities.

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 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...
01:20Nursing 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...

01:15Nursing 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.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
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.
