ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the methods and effect of applying specialized training and multimedia education in key infection-related departments of a hospital to intervene standard precautions for clinical practice interns.Methods:Based on the cases of nosocomial infection at home and abroad, the Science and Education Section and Infection Management Section designed and produced videos about standard precautions and occupational protection. The content of these videos covered two fields including knowledge training and skill training, with emphasis on enhancing awareness of profession risks and skills of hospital infection control and occupational protection of 196 medical students through specialized training in key infection-related departments. The training effect of standard precautions education for the two groups of students was evaluated from the theoretical test scores, questionnaire survey on their attitude and compliance to standard precautions, and the incidence of their occupational exposure to needle stab wound. SPSS 18.0 was performed for t test and chi-square test. Results:Apart from the knowledge of the unfavorable factors of implementing standard precautions, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in six aspects: theoretical test scores, hospital infection risk cognition, significance cognition of standard precautions, favorable factors of implementing standard precautions, self-efficacy evaluation and self-evaluation of compliance to standard precautions ( P<0.05). And there was significant difference in the incidence of occupational exposure to needle stab wound between the experiment group and control group (1.02% vs. 7.14%; χ2=4.69, P<0.05). Conclusion:Various teaching interventions of standard precautions during the entire internship period have expanded and deepened the contents of school education, enabling the students to form good occupational risk awareness and coping skills to protect the patients and themselves.
ABSTRACT
Operating Room nurses are required to have special skills and knowledge to do their job. However, because there is no systematic education program, which considers special circumstances in the OR, novice nurses have a great deal of difficulty adapting themselves to the work environment. The purpose of this study is to develope a multimedia education program, which provides the systematic learning environment, so novice nurses can adapt to the OR environment more effectively. This study has been implemented according to Computer Assisted Instruction Design Model(Il-Joo Na and In-Sung Jung, 1990), which goes through the following steps; 1). Education program analysis 2). Development, evaluation 3). CompletionLearning goals, objectives, motive strategy, and analysis of the education program are analyzed by the concepts based on basic education materials for novice surgery nurses of 6 Medical Centers in Seoul and 'Development of the job training program for newly employed nurses in operating rooms. 'written by Ji-Young Yoon(2000). We divided 9 areas of the contents in surgery education; 1. Basic orientation 2. OR nurses' roles and responsibilities 3. Asceptic technique 4. Disinfection and sterilization 5. OR safety 6. OR nursing care 7. Surgical positioning 8. OR Material management 9. Anesthetic care. We selected asceptic technique, which is the most fundamental concept in OR nursing care. The program screens consist of cover screen, screen for guide, mini menu screen, and test screen. We distributed questionnaires to fifteen experts and investigated their opinions to analyze learning contents and effects of the Courseware. The education program was modified based on respones provided by experts. This study offers an educational program, which allows the individuals to choose the areas they want to learn. The program is easy to use, which encourages the individuals to search for additional information more than one area.
