The aims of this study were to determine if there was a change in medical unit nursing staffs' knowledge about lower urinary tract symptoms following an education presentation and whether the education session met their learning needs.
Single-group, before-after study.
The study sample comprised 21 licensed nurses and 16 health care aides from 3 medical units in a tertiary care hospital in western Canada.
Participants completed pre- and post-true/false questionnaires developed for the project to assess lower urinary tract symptom knowledge, and a questionnaire to determine whether the education session met staff learning needs.
Knowledge was moderate on the pretest in both groups, with licensed nurses showing a significant improvement after the education intervention. Health care aides did not have a significant change in knowledge; they persisted in their belief that incontinence is a normal change of aging.
Health care aides need targeted education and enhanced care processes to shift their knowledge and thinking about continence.
本研究旨在确定在进行教育讲座后，医疗单位护理人员对下尿路症状的知识是否有所改变，以及该教育课程是否满足他们的学习需求。
单组、前后研究。
研究样本包括来自加拿大西部一家三级保健医院的 3 个医疗单位的 21 名持照护士和 16 名保健助理。
参与者完成了为该项目开发的下尿路症状知识的真/假问卷的预测试和后测试，并完成了一份问卷，以确定教育课程是否满足员工的学习需求。
在两个组中，知识在预测试中都处于中等水平，持照护士在教育干预后表现出显著的改善。保健助理的知识没有显著变化；他们仍然认为失禁是衰老的正常变化。
需要对保健助理进行有针对性的教育和强化护理流程，以改变他们对尿失禁的知识和观念。
