Effects of application and management of the standardized training system for newly graduated nurses

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of application and management of the standardized training system for newly graduated registered nurses. Methods A total of 238 newly graduated nurses in Peking University First Hospital were selected by purposive sampling method. The 138 nurses who were enrolled in August 2015 were assigned into control group, adopting the traditional training program for new nurses. The 100 newly enrolled nurses in August 2016 were assigned into observation group, adopting the new standardized training program for new nurses. After training, the nurses of both groups were evaluated with the Transition Shock of Newly Graduated Nurses Scale (TSNGNS) , the New Nurse Standardized Training Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the comprehensive examination paper. Results The total scores of TSNGNS, physical dimension, psychological dimension, social culture and development of nurses in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after training, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01) . After training, the total score and each dimension score of nurse satisfaction questionnaire in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . After the training, the comprehensive examination score of the nurses in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . Conclusions The implementation of the new training scheme can effectively relieve the new nurses' transition shock and improve their satisfaction and comprehensive evaluation score during training.
