To evaluate the effects of an educational intervention programme on improving paediatric nurses' competencies in performing adolescent healthcare practice in central China.
The WHO Adolescent Health Framework was integrated into this training programme to examine the effects of educational interventions on the competencies of paediatric nurses in promoting adolescent healthcare. This study is one of the first in central China to evaluate paediatric nurses' competencies in promoting adolescent health.
The study used a mixed-method design with a quasi-experimental approach and focus group interviews.
The study was conducted with 57 paediatric nurses from 28 institutes and hospitals in central China in 2010 to evaluate their competencies in adolescent health and development, specifically with regard to conducting needs assessments, planning effective interventions and evaluating outcome measures. The paediatric nurses received training and were assessed by individual and group work during the structured three-week programme. Data were collected before and after the training programme as pre- and post-tests. The researchers gathered information about their experiences by conducting focus group interviews.
The paediatric nurses demonstrated significant improvements in their adolescent healthcare practice after attending the three-week structured training programme. The post-test scores had significant effects on the dimensions of the adolescent healthcare practice competency checklist. The qualitative data also showed positive and encouraging experiences and feedback from the paediatric nurses in this study.
The findings suggest that an educational intervention can change knowledge, attitudes and practice among paediatric nurses in adolescent healthcare. All the paediatric nurses in this study demonstrated increased competencies in carrying out adolescent healthcare practice after participating in the three-week intensive intervention programme.
This study showed that paediatric nurses have an important role in promoting and coordinating adolescent healthcare practice in primary healthcare practice.
评估一项教育干预计划对提高中国中部地区儿科护士在青少年保健实践方面能力的效果。
世界卫生组织青少年健康框架被纳入该培训计划，以检验教育干预对儿科护士促进青少年保健能力的影响。本研究是中国中部地区首批评估儿科护士促进青少年健康能力的研究之一。
本研究采用混合方法设计，包括准实验方法和焦点小组访谈。
2010年，对来自中国中部地区28家机构和医院的57名儿科护士进行了研究，以评估她们在青少年健康与发展方面的能力，特别是在进行需求评估、规划有效干预措施和评估结果指标方面。在为期三周的结构化培训计划中，儿科护士接受培训，并通过个人和小组作业进行评估。在培训计划前后分别进行前测和后测来收集数据。研究人员通过焦点小组访谈收集她们的经验信息。
参加为期三周的结构化培训计划后，儿科护士在青少年保健实践方面有了显著改善。后测分数对青少年保健实践能力清单的各个维度有显著影响。定性数据也显示了本研究中儿科护士积极且令人鼓舞的经验和反馈。
研究结果表明，教育干预可以改变儿科护士在青少年保健方面的知识、态度和实践。本研究中的所有儿科护士在参加为期三周的强化干预计划后，在开展青少年保健实践方面的能力都有所提高。
本研究表明，儿科护士在初级保健实践中促进和协调青少年保健实践方面发挥着重要作用。
