간호사를 위한 교육프로그램의 효과에 관한 R-메타분석

Abstract

Until now, educational programs for nurses have been studied in various ways, but no studies have been conducted to show their effectiveness. Thus, it is necessary to test the effectiveness of individual studies. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of 22 academic articles (38 effect sizes) studied in South Korea for 20 years from 2002 to 2021 under the theme of the educational program for nurses through meta-analysis. The results are as follows. First, the overall effect size was 1.1196, showing significant effectiveness, and heterogeneity rather than homogeneity of the effect size (significance probability p-value=0.0001, I2=86.2%) was identified and interpreted as a random effect model. Second, meta-regression analysis with moderating variables (Alpha and ST) did not show significant explanatory power. Third, meta-regression with moderator variables (Alpha and session time) also showed statistically significant regression coefficients for the session time (z =-2.4587, p=0.0139). Fourth, the difference in effect size between effect variables are Hedges' g=1.7434 in knowledge (7), Hedges' g =1.557 in performance (6), Hedges' g=1.111 in self-efficacy (7), Hedges' g=0.6835 in communication(5 effect sizes), and Hedges' g =0.6835 in attitude (5). Effect sizes by effect variables showed statistically significant differences (Q =44.66, df=5, p=0.0001). When analyzing funnel plots, Egger's regression test, fail-safe N , trim-and-fill estimates, and adjusted funnel plots for analysis of publishing bias, resulted in no problem with publishing bias in this study. Finally, the conclusion and implications of this study were discussed.
