Impact of nurse integrated rounds on self-reported comprehension, attitudes, and practices of nurses and resident physicians in a pediatric intensive care unit.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of nurse integrated rounds (NIRs) on self-reported comprehension, attitudes, and practices of nurses and resident physicians (RPs) in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Materials And Methods: A self-reported comprehension, attitude, and practice survey of RPs and nurses was done prior to (T0), 3 months (T3), and 15 months (T15) after initiation of NIRs in our PICU. Responses were graded on Likert-type scale from 1 to 5.

Impact of different educational methods on nursing knowledge and satisfaction.

Despite the reality of high patient acuity, staffing challenges, and financial constraints, nurse educators must convey information to staff in an expeditious and effective manner. Determining which educational methods meet the staff's needs and learning preferences is a daily challenge for educators. This experimental study compared two different educational methods, lecture and poster presentation, examining nursing knowledge acquisition and retention as well as satisfaction with the educational method.
