Abstract:
Lack of self-confidence in clinical teaching roles may discourage potential nurse faculty. Academic-clinical partners studied practicing nurses' responses to an intervention regarding teaching confidence and intent. Researchers used a one-group nonrandom pretest/posttest design with two subscales of the Clinical Nurse Educator Skill Acquisition Assessment tool and open-ended questions. Confidence increased with self-rated d = -1.08 (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.60, 0.54), and CNESSA at d = -1.47 (95% CI, -2.07, -0.85) and d = -2.01 (95% CI, -2.74, -1.27), respectively. Several participants intended to pursue teaching. A multicomponent educational intervention may help reduce the nurse educator shortage, warranting future research.
