This study aimed to (a) describe nurse educators' attitudes towards veterans after workshop participation, (b) evaluate the effectiveness of the workshop and timed digital interventions (TDI) on nurse educators' integration of veteran-centered content into their courses and curricula, and (c) describe nurse educators' experiences with transferring learning from the workshop to teaching practice.
A longitudinal multi-intervention, multi-method pilot study was conducted using pre- and post-workshop surveys and interviews.
Twenty-six nurse faculty reported a neutral attitude toward working with veterans during the pre-workshop survey period. TDIs kept veteran-centered content fresh on faculty minds, yielding evidence of integration into nursing courses.
Nursing faculty preparation and development is crucial to effectively integrate specific veteran care content into nursing education to ensure a competent and culturally sensitive workforce. Integrating TDIs using widely accessible technologies is a cost-effective way of increasing engagement with new information and bridge implementation gaps associated with traditional professional development activities.
本研究旨在:(a)描述参与研讨会后护士教育工作者对退伍军人的态度;(b)评估研讨会和定时数字干预 (TDI) 对护士教育工作者将以退伍军人为中心的内容融入课程和教学大纲的效果;(c)描述护士教育工作者将学习成果从研讨会转移到教学实践的经验。
采用纵向多干预、多方法的试点研究,使用会前和会后的问卷调查和访谈。
26 名护理教师在会前调查期间报告了对与退伍军人合作的中立态度。TDIs 使以退伍军人为中心的内容在教师的脑海中保持新鲜,为将其纳入护理课程提供了证据。
护理教师的准备和发展对于将特定的退伍军人护理内容有效融入护理教育以确保有能力和对文化敏感的劳动力至关重要。使用广泛可及的技术整合 TDI 是一种增加对新信息的参与度并弥合与传统专业发展活动相关的实施差距的具有成本效益的方法。
