Continuing education for nurses must demonstrate measurable practice changes. Goal attainment scaling effectively measures behavioral shifts and promotes self-assessment skills in healthcare professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare education
  • Nursing professional development
  • Health services management

Background:

  • Healthcare settings face cost pressures and rapid changes, necessitating effective continuing education.
  • Traditional evaluations often fail to measure practice changes resulting from continuing education.
  • Nurses need continuous learning skills, and managers require measurable practice improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) as a tool for measuring behavioral changes in nurses post-continuing education.
  • To explore GAS's potential in fostering self-determination and self-assessment skills among healthcare learners.

Main Methods:

  • A study utilizing Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) to evaluate changes in learner behavior after an educational program.
