The author investigated the educational needs of nurses in an American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet hospital to determine topics of interest, instruction time and delivery preferences, and interest in a research information skills certificate provided by the library.
A 9-question survey was distributed to 1,500 nursing staff of the hospital through email.
Surveys were completed by 865 respondents, which represented a response rate of 58%. The majority of respondents were registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and paramedics (81%), and day-shift workers (65%). For education topics, nursing staff placed the highest priority on finding health-related mobile apps for professionals and developing evidence-based research skills. For mode of delivery, respondents expressed a preference for unit-based in-service, computer-based tutorials, and hands-on computer training. Most (70%) respondents expressed an interest in participating in a research information skills certificate program.
Our survey results reveal an avenue for reinvigorating and updating the library's educational program to match the needs of nursing staff and may offer valuable insight for other libraries seeking to do the same.
作者调查了美国护士认证中心磁铁医院护士的教育需求，以确定感兴趣的主题、教学时间和授课偏好，以及对图书馆提供的研究信息技能证书的兴趣。
通过电子邮件向该医院1500名护理人员发放了一份包含9个问题的调查问卷。
865名受访者完成了调查，回复率为58%。大多数受访者是注册护士、执业护士和护理人员（81%），以及日班工作人员（65%）。对于教育主题，护理人员最优先考虑的是为专业人员寻找与健康相关的移动应用程序以及培养循证研究技能。对于授课方式，受访者表示倾向于基于科室的在职培训、计算机教程和实践操作计算机培训。大多数（70%）受访者表示有兴趣参加研究信息技能证书课程。
我们的调查结果揭示了一条振兴和更新图书馆教育项目以满足护理人员需求的途径，可能为其他寻求同样做法的图书馆提供有价值的见解。
