ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the practice status of the newNursing practice standards for intravenous therapy in secondary and above hospitals in Shandong province. Methods Self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 3051 nurses from 129 hospitals in 17 cities in Shandong province. Results Nurses′ awareness rate of the new Nursing practice standards for intravenous therapy was 92.69%(2828/3051);92.13%(2811/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals used the new standard, 65.78%(2007/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals had applied the standard since the second half of 2014; 92.92% (2835/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals had revised their practice rules according to the new standard;93.54%(2854/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals had revised the related nursing process; 50.08% (1528/3051) nurses thought the new standard helpful to clinical practice;22.98%(701/3051) nurses knew well about the new standard;53.85%(1643/3051) nurses thought the standard applicable to clinical practice. Conclusions As nurses do not master the Nursing practice standards for intravenous therapy well, they need strengthened training. Hospitals should fresh their rules, protocolsand supply training program to improve nurses′ knowledge and skill. Meanwhile, Nursing practice standards for intravenous therapyalso needs to be revised and improved according to nurses feedback.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct and implement theSTARnurse training model, and discuss its application effect and the problems that should be paid attention to, and to provide operational cases and practical basis for nursing clinical education. Methods Through literature review and expert consultation, the framework and content of STAR nurse training model were set up and implemented. The questionnaire survey and semi structured in-depth interviews were conducted among the nurses in the hospital to evaluate the effect of improving the nurses′self-directed learning ability. Results After the implementation of the project, the scores of the three dimensions of self-management, desire for study and self-control were (3.67±0.57), (4.05±0.54), (3.99±0.50) points, which were higher than (3.55±0.49), (3.71± 0.52), (3.53±0.42) points before implementation. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or 0.01). The semi structured in-depth interviews showed that all the nurses believed that STAR nurse training model could promote independent learning and stimulate interest in learning. 14 nurses thought it was beneficial for the nurses to find the problems. Conclusions STAR nurse training model can create a favorable learning environment for nurses, and stimulate the learning motivation. It plays a positive role in improving nurses′ability of self-directed learning.
