The effect of a workshop on Egyptian nurse educators' motivation and attitude toward evidence based teaching

Abstract

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p class="a"><strong>Background:</strong> Motivations and attitude are known to influence goal directed activity such as adoption of new behaviors in teaching. Accordingly, understanding nurse educators’ motivation and attitudes toward evidence-based teaching is a critical step to successfully transforming the faculty’s culture to use best practices in nursing education. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of workshop, on Egyptian nurse educators' motivation and attitude toward evidence-based teaching over time.</p> <p class="a"><strong>Methods:</strong> Quasi-experimental design with three periods of data collection: a pre-test and two post-test periods at the School of Nursing, Zagazig University, Egypt. A convenience sample of nurse faculties who were invited to attend a one-day workshop was used. There were no exclusion criteria. Four tools were used: the Demographic form, the Follow-up form, The Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS), and the Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire (EBNAQ).</p> <p class="a"><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 48 nurse faculty agreed to participate in the study; they were female with a mean age of 30 years and an average of 5.5 years of experience in academic setting. Half of the participants had master’s degree or higher. There were significant differences between the pre-, post- and follow-up scores in three of the motivation subscales. Regarding “lack of motivation”, these scores and scores of attitude toward evidence based teaching did not change over time. There was a significant difference in the external regulation score comparing faculty subgroups (i.e., implementers versus non-<br /> implementers).</p> <strong>Conclusions:</strong> A workshop about best practices in nursing education fostered increased intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, and external regulation immediately and changes were sustained over a three month period. A total of 23% of workshop participants implemented an evidence-based education strategy after the workshop, promoting best practices in nursing education.<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span

Obstacles in employing evidence-based practice by nurses in their clinical settings: a descriptive study

“…These findings were consistent with many of previous studies. 24,26,28 The majority of the studied nurses stated that there is no library in the hospital and they face troubles in attainment of the research evidence. In addition, there is absence of full-text nursing articles or up-to-date textbooks.…”

“…tarafından geliştirilen KDHYTÖ'yi kullanan Hassona ve ark., hemşirelerin KDH'ye yönelik tutumun yüksek düzeyde olumlu olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. 24 Küçükoğlu ve ark. ile Koehn ve Lehman, hemşirelerin KDH'ye yönelik tutumlarının orta düzeyde olduğunu belirtmişlerdir.…”

“…Hemşirelerin %56,1'i bilimsel araştırma sonuçlarını uygulamaya aktarabildiğini, %45,5'i bulguları okuyup yorumlayabildiğini, %34,8'i nasıl araştırma yapıldığını bildiğini, %18,9'u örneklem seçimi ve yeterliliğini değerlendirebildiğini ve %18,2'si araştırmanın tipini değerlendirebildiğini belirtmişlerdir (Tablo 3). KDHYTÖ puan ortalaması 60,76±7,92 (36-75), inanç ve beklentiler 29,06±4,12 , duygular 20,59±3,37 (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), uygulama niyeti 11,10±1,96 (4-15) alt boyutları puan ortalamalarının yüksek düzeyde olumlu tutuma sahip oldukları saptanmıştır (Tablo 4). KDHYTÖ ile duygular alt boyutunda 33-45 yaş grubunda daha olumlu tutum ve KDHYTÖ ile duygular ve uygulama niyeti alt boyutlarında kadınların anlamlı olarak daha olumlu tutum gösterdikleri belirlenmiştir (p<0,05) (Tablo 5).…”
