Assessment of the effectiveness of the BOPPPS model combined with case-based learning on nursing residency education for newly recruited nurses in China: a mixed methods study

BackgroundExpanding new nurse training and education is a priority for nursing educators as well as a critical initiative to stabilize the nursing workforce. Given that there is currently no standardized program for the training of new nurses in China, we investigated the effectiveness of the bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment, and summary model combined with case-based learning ((BOPPPS-CBL) for the standardized training of new nurses.MethodsThe mixed method approach with explanatory sequential (quantitative-qualitative) method was used. A questionnaire was used to compare the impact of the BOPPPS-CBL model and the Traditional Learning Model (TLM) on the core competencies of 185 new nurses for two years of standardized training. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Focus group interviews were used with four groups of new nurses and perceptions of BOPPPS-CBL training were recorded. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically.ResultsAccording to the quantitative data, more new nurses agreed that the BOPPPS-CBL model stimulated their learning and improved their core nursing competencies than the TLM. The BOPPPS-CBL group outperformed the TLM group on theoretical knowledge tests. Qualitative data revealed that 87.5% of new nurses agreed on the value of BOPPPS-CBL training, and three themes were extracted: (1) role promotion; (2) formation of new thinking to solve clinical problems; and (3) suggestions for improvement.ConclusionBOPPPS-CBL training had a significant impact on improving new nurses’ core competencies and promoting the transition of new nurses to clinical practice nurses in China. The study recommends BOPPPS-CBL training as an effective teaching model for the standardized training and education of new nurses.

Assessment of Nursing Practice Environment and Its Influencing Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study at Shandong Province, Jinan.

To investigate the current nursing practice environment in Jinan, Shandong Province, and to identify the factors influencing the practice environment. This study is a cross-sectional study for nurses. From October to December 2022, using the clustering and stratified sampling methods, 2426 nurses from internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Outpatient Department and Intensive Care Department of the Provincial Hospital of Shandong Medical University were selected and then investigated and analyzed using the revised Nurse Practice Environment Assessment Scale. The overall mean evaluation of the practice environment scored 75.13±19.87, with a minimum value of 59.74 and a maximum value of 95.82. The items with higher scores were "the hospital has systematic training for new nurses", "the work system is perfect", and "the hospital can provide continuing education for nurses in accordance with the needs of their positions". The items with lower scores were "nurses enjoy legal benefits", "nurses have the opportunity to participate in hospital management decisions", and "nurses have the opportunity to participate in hospital internal management". The results of the multiple linear regression analysis of the factors influencing nurses' practice environment showed that gender, education, position, and years of work were independent influences on nurses' practice environment scores (p < 0.05), and they explained 48.127% of the variation in the total scores of the nurses' practice environment scale. The estimated values (β) of sex, education, cheif nurse, nurses staff, work experience (year), and whether the only child variables were 3.141, 3.237, 2.713, 5.471, 2.074 and 0.732, respectively. The nurse practice environment still needs to be improved, mainly in terms of hospital management participation, human resource allocation and salary distribution system.

Application of role reversal and standardized patient simulation (SPS) in the training of new nurses

PurposeTo explore the effect of role reversal and standardized patient simulation on the training of new nurses.MethodThis study was conducted in a territory hospital in China between August 2021 and August 2022. The selected staff were all newly recruited and trained nurses, with a total of 58 cases. This study is a randomised controlled trial. The selected nurses were randomly divided into two groups. One group of 29 nurses (the control group) received routine training and assessment; the other group (the experimental group) was given role reversal combined with a standardized vertebral patient training examination. The implementation effects of different training and assessment methods were compared and analysed.ResultsBefore the training, the core competence scores of nurses in the two groups were lower, and there was no significant data difference (P > 0.05). After training, the core competence scores of nurses were improved, and the score of nurses in the experimental group was 165.49 ± 22.34. The difference was statistically significant when compared with the score of nurses in the control group (P < 0.05), indicating that nurses in the experimental group had better abilities. At the same time, the satisfaction of the two groups of nurses with the training was 96.55% (experimental group) and 75.86% (control group), and the difference in data was significant (P < 0.05). The satisfaction of the experimental group of nurses was higher, and the training effect was better.ConclusionIn the training of new nurses, the combined application of role interchange and standardized patient training and assessment methods has significant effects, which can improve the core competency of nurses and improve the training satisfaction of nurses, which is significant.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Perceived Barriers of Newly Graduated Registered Nurses Undergoing Standardized Training in Intensive Care Unit Toward Early Mobilization of Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Qualitative Study in Shanghai.

Aim: To explore the knowledge and attitudes of newly graduated registered nurses, who have undergone standardized training in the intensive care unit, about the early mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients and identify perceived barriers to the application of early mobilization.Background: Early mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients has been gradually gaining attention, and its safety and effectiveness have also been verified. Nurses in intensive care units are the implementers of early mobilization, and the quality of their care is closely related to patient prognosis. However, the knowledge and attitude of newly graduated registered nurses undergoing standardized training, in intensive care units, on the early mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients and the obstacles they face in clinical implementation are still unclear.Methods: This qualitative study utilized the phenomenological method to explore the experiences of 15 newly graduated registered nurses undergoing standardized training in intensive care units in a 3rd hospital in Shanghai, China. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted in June 2020. The Colaizzi seven-step framework was used for data analysis.Findings: A total of 15 new nurses comprised the final sample after data saturation. Three main themes emerged from the analysis and seven subthemes: perceived importance, low implementation rate, and perceived barriers.Conclusions: Newly graduated registered nurses undergoing standardized training in intensive care units have a high level of awareness of the importance of early mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients and are willing to implement it. However, there is a lack of relevant knowledge and other obstacles that restrict clinical implementation. Early mobilization should be included in the standardized training of new nurses in intensive care units.

Quality of work life and work engagement among nurses with standardised training: The mediating role of burnout and career identity

AimTo explore the impact of the quality of work life of nurses with standardised training on their work engagement and its impact path, that is, the intermediary role of career identity and job burnout. BackgroundMost countries currently face the serious problem of a shortage of nurses and this difficulty is likely to persist for a long time. In recent years, some hospitals in China have attempted to try out clinical standardised training for new nurses for a duration of at least two years. They need to cope with clinical work, training assessments, and low salaries. Ways to improve the work input of new nurses play a pivotal role in reducing the turnover rate of nurses. DesignThe current research is a cross-sectional study. MethodsValid questionnaires were received from 245 nurses from the tertiary hospitals between June and July 2021. AMOS was used to conduct a structural equation model to evaluate the mediating effect of burnout and career identity on the association between the quality of work life and work engagement. We describe the study in accordance with the STROBE statement. ResultsThe quality of the work life of nurses with standardised training is at a medium to high level (191.62 ± 27.18) and their work engagement is at a relatively high level (75.77 ± 19.60). Quality of work life was negatively correlated with burnout (r1 = −0.672, p < 0.001) and positively correlated with career identity (r2 = 0.810, p < 0.001) and work engagement (r2 = 0.642, p < 0.001). Moreover, a positive relationship was found between the quality of work life and work engagement (β1 =0.644), which was mediated by burnout and career identity (β2 =0.144, β3 =0.218). ConclusionsAlthough the work engagement of nurses with standardised training is encouraging, that work engagement decreases with the increase in the age of nurses, still needs investigation. When nurse managers want to improve the work engagement of new nurses, they should not only pay attention to the quality of work life but take career identity and burnout into consideration.

Reducing False Alarms and Absent Treatments by Nurses During Resuscitation in the Emergency Department

Medical management protocols prioritize the safety of patients during emergency resuscitation situations. According to a medical center in Taiwan statistics gathered in 2017, the unnecessary activation of resuscitation teams by new nurses because of their improper assessment of patient conditions was a significant cause of anxiety in patient relatives and source of complaints directed at the medical center. In June 2018, 18.7% of the emergency resuscitation calls in the emergency department (ED) were false alarms or absent treatment incidents. After investigation, lack of clearly stated resuscitation team member responsibilities and insufficient practical training for new nurses were primary factors associated with the high rate of false alarm/absent treatment incidents in the ED. To decrease the rate of absent treatment by nurses during resuscitation from 18.7% to 0% in the ED. The assignments of emergency team members were revised, a new "Emergency app" was introduced, the assignment schedule of the emergency resuscitation team was distributed, SIM realistic education training was held, stronger team work was promoted, and a standard assignment review schedule was established and regularly monitored. After the introduction of the resolution measures, the false alarm / absent treatment incidents in the ED caused by ED nurses dropped from 18.7% to 0%. Resuscitation workflow is closely related to patient safety, and teamwork among colleagues critical to successful resuscitation. The project revised resuscitation teamwork assignments and organized resuscitation education training, including simulation courses, to enhance the understanding of team members. The strategy outlined in this paper may be used to raise awareness using posters and resuscitation record checklists to track and manage the team`s progress. This project was designed to enhance teamwork to decrease the rate of absent treatment and to provide safe and quality resuscitation care in order to improve resource management by the team to increase productivity.
