Rehabilitation is a specialty area with defined competencies and discrete nursing knowledge. Nurses need to be educated in the basic competencies of rehabilitation to provide safe, quality care to patients with chronic illnesses and disabilities. A critical appraisal of the literature showed that education increased knowledge in a specialty area and had positive benefits for nurses, organizations, and patients. The purpose of this paper is to describe an evidence-based educational intervention. Self-study modules on 15 rehabilitation competencies were developed for 16 nurses working on a new inpatient unit. Outcomes were evaluated using pre and post tests via the online Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) Competency Assessment Tool (CAT). Data were analyzed using the SPSS14.0 statistical package. Paired t-tests demonstrated a significant difference between pre and post test scores on 14 of the 15 competencies measured. Findings suggested that education of nursing staff resulted in increased knowledge about rehabilitation nursing competencies.
康复是一个具有明确能力要求和独特护理知识的专业领域。护士需要接受康复基本能力方面的教育，以便为慢性病患者和残疾患者提供安全、优质的护理。对文献的批判性评估表明，教育能增加专业领域的知识，并对护士、机构和患者产生积极益处。本文旨在描述一种基于证据的教育干预措施。为在新住院单元工作的16名护士开发了关于15项康复能力的自学模块。通过在线康复护士协会（ARN）能力评估工具（CAT）进行前后测试来评估结果。使用SPSS14.0统计软件包对数据进行分析。配对t检验显示，在测量的15项能力中的14项上，前后测试分数存在显著差异。研究结果表明，对护理人员的教育提高了他们对康复护理能力的认识。
