The findings of 139 studies of nurses educated in one of three basic nursing education programs (associate degree, diploma, and baccalaureate degree) were synthesized using meta-analysis. The results indicated significant differences between professional (BSN) and technical (AD and diploma) nurses on measures of nurse performance. Measures resulting in larger effects for professional nurses included communication skills, knowledge, problem-solving, and professional role. No differences resulted from studies of nurses from the two technical programs, AD and diploma. Further analyses indicated that the effects could not be solely attributed to substantive and methodological features of the studies. However, the hospital setting where a study was conducted and years of nursing experience decreased the size of the effect. The results of the meta-analysis have implications for policy development about educational preparation and for service expectations of professional and technical nurses.
采用荟萃分析方法，综合了对接受三种基本护理教育项目（副学士学位、文凭和学士学位）之一培训的护士进行的139项研究结果。结果表明，在护士绩效指标方面，专业（护理学学士）护士和技术（副学士学位和文凭）护士之间存在显著差异。对专业护士产生较大影响的指标包括沟通技巧、知识、解决问题的能力和专业角色。副学士学位和文凭这两个技术项目的护士研究结果没有差异。进一步分析表明，这些影响不能仅仅归因于研究的实质性和方法学特征。然而，进行研究的医院环境和护理工作年限会减小影响的程度。荟萃分析的结果对护理教育准备的政策制定以及专业和技术护士的服务期望具有启示意义。
