Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact health outcomes in adulthood. Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are associated with resiliency and improved mental and physical health outcomes. There is often a lack of content on ACEs in nursing education. The purpose of this project was to determine the knowledge and perceptions of ACEs and PCEs among prelicensure nursing students.
A mixed-method pilot study was implanted. Prelicensure nursing students received didactic instruction on ACEs and PCEs and completed online, anonymous ten-item pre- and post-surveys about knowledge on ACEs and PCEs.
A positive percent change was observed with all ten statements from pre- to post-surveys. Six themes emerged from qualitative analysis, revealing the importance and benefits of education on ACEs and PCEs.
This study shows that nursing students valued education regarding ACEs, were willing to incorporate their knowledge of ACEs into their practice, and discovered they might have been exposed to ACEs themselves. Implications for International Audience: All nursing programs must include content on ACEs and PCEs to prepare better nurses to care for patients.
儿童期逆境经历（ACEs）会影响成年后的健康结果。积极的童年经历（PCEs）与韧性以及改善心理健康和身体健康结果有关。护理教育中通常缺乏 ACEs 的内容。本项目旨在确定准护理学生对 ACEs 和 PCEs 的知识和看法。
实施了一项混合方法试点研究。准护理学生接受了 ACEs 和 PCEs 的教学，并在线匿名填写了十项 ACEs 和 PCEs 知识的预调查和后调查。
所有十项陈述的正百分比变化都从预调查到后调查中观察到。从定性分析中出现了六个主题，揭示了 ACEs 和 PCEs 教育的重要性和益处。
这项研究表明，护理学生重视 ACEs 的教育，愿意将他们对 ACEs 的知识融入实践，并发现自己可能已经接触过 ACEs。
所有护理项目都必须包括 ACEs 和 PCEs 的内容，以培养更好的护士来照顾患者。
