The need to educate the future nursing workforce to increase understanding of healthy sleep practices, adverse health consequences of impaired sleep, and common sleep disorders is pressing. Unfortunately, education about sleep and sleep disorders has not been part of established undergraduate nursing curricula.
This study developed a sleep education program for college nursing students and tested its effect on knowledge about sleep and sleep disorders.
With a total time commitment of 10 hours, this program included three sequential components: traditional in-classroom teaching, guided online virtual self-learning, and interactive simulation-based discussion. This innovative education program was implemented in a core course offered to senior nursing students in spring 2013, and demonstrated its effectiveness in improving knowledge about sleep and sleep disorders.
Translating into undergraduate nursing curriculum, it will lay a foundation for improving health care of patients and decreasing the health risks of nurses as care providers.
培养未来护理人员，以增强他们对健康睡眠习惯、睡眠障碍对健康的不良影响以及常见睡眠障碍的认识，这一需求十分迫切。遗憾的是，睡眠及睡眠障碍方面的教育尚未纳入既定的本科护理课程。
本研究为本科护理专业学生开发了一项睡眠教育计划，并测试了该计划对学生睡眠及睡眠障碍知识的影响。
该计划总时长为10小时，包括三个连续部分：传统课堂教学、在线虚拟自主学习指导以及基于模拟的互动讨论。这一创新教育计划于2013年春季在面向高年级护理专业学生的核心课程中实施，并证明了其在提高睡眠及睡眠障碍知识方面的有效性。
将其纳入本科护理课程，将为改善患者的医疗保健状况以及降低护士作为护理提供者的健康风险奠定基础。
