This article describes the implementation and evaluation of the Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) as an innovative model of clinical nursing education. A partnership of nurse executives, staff nurses and faculty transformed patient care units into environments of support for nursing students and staff nurses while continuing the critical work of providing quality care to acutely ill adults. Various methods were used to obtain formative data during the implementation of this model in which staff nurses assumed the role of nursing instructors. Results showed high student and nurse satisfaction and a marked increase in clinical capacity that allowed for increased enrollment. This article reports on a 3-year project to operationalize the DEU concept with 6 nursing units in 3 hospitals. The development of staff nurses as clinical instructors, best practices to teach and evaluate critical thinking in students, and the mix of student learners continue as focus areas.
本文介绍了专用教育单元(DEU)作为临床护理教育创新模式的实施与评估情况。护士管理人员、在职护士和教员之间的合作将患者护理单元转变为支持护理专业学生和在职护士的环境,同时继续为急性病成年患者提供优质护理这一关键工作。在实施该模式(在职护士承担护理教员角色)的过程中,采用了多种方法来获取形成性数据。结果显示,学生和护士的满意度较高,临床能力显著提高,从而使得招生人数得以增加。本文报道了一个为期3年的项目,该项目在3家医院的6个护理单元实施了DEU概念。将在职护士培养为临床教员、教授和评估学生批判性思维的最佳实践方法以及学生学习者的组合仍然是重点关注领域。
