The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptability, appropriateness, and effectiveness of educational intervention with homecare nurses about deprescribing of medications among older adults. An evaluation research study was conducted using survey design to evaluate deprescribing education with a total sample of 45 homecare nurses from three homecare organizations. Post-training evaluation data were evaluated using Likert scale and open-ended questions were analyzed using descriptive statistical analyses and qualitative thematic analysis. Post-intervention questionnaire responses provided descriptions about homecare nurses' perspectives related to deprescribing education, as well as the effectiveness of training in addressing their knowledge gaps. The pilot-testing of deprescribing learning modules and educational training revealed acceptability and suitability for future scale-up to expand its future reach and adoption by other homecare organizations. This study provided important implications into the barriers that impact the effectiveness of deprescribing education, and facilitators that support the future refinement of learning modules.
本研究的目的是评估针对家庭护理护士开展的关于老年人减药的教育干预的可接受性、适宜性和有效性。采用调查设计进行了一项评估研究，以评估来自三个家庭护理机构的45名家庭护理护士的减药教育情况。培训后评估数据采用李克特量表进行评估，开放式问题采用描述性统计分析和定性主题分析进行分析。干预后问卷回复提供了有关家庭护理护士对减药教育的看法，以及培训在弥补其知识差距方面的有效性的描述。减药学习模块和教育培训的试点测试显示了其可接受性和适用性，以便未来扩大规模，供其他家庭护理机构采用。本研究为影响减药教育有效性的障碍以及支持未来完善学习模块的促进因素提供了重要启示。
