This is the second article which focuses on the inter-collaborative work between education and practice to enhance theoretical and practical delivery for mental health (MH) nurses when administrating Long Acting Intramuscular Injections (LAAIs). By designing two questionnaires, we were able to evaluate knowledge gain and the satisfaction level of the course delivery by the MH nurses, which appear initially to identify that such educational strategies can make a positive impact in clinical practice.
This is the first of two articles. It introduces the background to a workshop to update mental health nurses toward competently administering long-acting intramuscular injections. The art and science of administering intramuscular injections is a complex activity for the nurse to perform, thus key issues in doing so are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
