The application of Kirkpatrick Model in the evaluation of standardized training effect of new nurses / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of standardized training for new nurses in the first year based on Kirkpatrick model as a theoretical framework.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. New nurses' satisfaction with training, theoretical and operational assessment, job performance, core competence, turnover rate and other indicators were used, to evaluate the effect of standardized training for 62 new nurses in the first year.Results:At the reaction level, the overall satisfaction score of new nurses was 4.66±0.47; at the learning level, the theoretical assessment score was 95.32±2.38, the operational assessment score was 97.53±1.07, and the performance score was 97.12±1.64; at the behavioral level 88.45±9.75; and at the result level, there were no complaints and errors among new nurses, and the turnover rate was 1.6% (1/62). The theoretical and operational assessment scores were positively correlated with work performance, with r value of 0.424 and 0.399, respectively, and P = 0.001. The theoretical assessment scores were negatively correlated with the behavioral level, with the r value of -0.264 and P= 0.038. There were no correlation with the operational assessment scores and the behavioral level, with the r value of 0.147 and P value of 0.253. Conclusions:Kirkpatrick model validates the standardized training program for new nurses effectively, and provides scientific basis for improving the training program for new nurses. The results level of the training needs to be evaluated in the long term.
