This retrospective study examined the nurse outcomes from new-graduate nurse residents completing an online nurse residency program (NRP).
Studies have shown that hospital-based NRPs help new graduates transition from beginners to competent nurses. However, NRPs can tax the resources of smaller institutions, making such a program unrealistic. Little is published exploring the efficacy of online programs for nursing residents.
Surveys assessing the impact of the online program were completed by residents in an online NRP at initiation, 6 months, and at completion.
There were statistically significant improvements in organizational and prioritizing skills; confidence in communication with other healthcare providers, patients, and families; and improved leadership ability. The percentage of residents reporting negative safety practices and patient errors decreased over time.
An NRP using online educational modules results in nurse outcomes comparable to those reported from traditional models.
本回顾性研究调查了完成在线护士住院医师培训项目(NRP)的新毕业护士的培训成果。
研究表明,基于医院的NRP有助于新毕业生从新手转变为合格护士。然而,NRP可能会消耗小型机构的资源,使这样的项目不切实际。关于在线项目对护士住院医师培训效果的研究报道较少。
参与在线NRP的住院医师在项目开始时、6个月时和结束时完成了评估在线项目影响的调查。
在组织和优先级技能、与其他医疗服务提供者、患者及家属沟通的信心以及领导能力方面有统计学上的显著提高。随着时间的推移,报告负面安全行为和患者错误的住院医师比例有所下降。
使用在线教育模块的NRP所产生的护士培训成果与传统模式报告的成果相当。
