ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of problem-intervention-outcome (P-I-O) teaching method on the normalization training of new nurses. MethodsA total of 101 new nurses from 2011 to 2013 were included in this research. Forty-two new nurses who were invited from August 2011 to July 2012 were distributed into group A, and 59 new nurses who were invited from August 2012 to July 2013 were distributed into group B. Both groups accepted normalization training. Group B accepted P-I-O teaching at the same time. We assessed the differences in operating, theory, attendance, the rates of harmful events and the degree of satisfaction between the two groups. ResultsTheory and operating between the two groups had significant differences (t=3.44, 2.86; P<0.05). Attendance, rates of harmful events and the degree of satisfaction all had significant differences between the two groups (t=2.94, χ2=8.45, Z=-2.05; P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of P-I-O teaching method in the normalization training of new nurses can stimulate their study interest and enthusiasm, transit their role faster, as well as reduce the rates of clinical harmful events and elevate the quality of care. Thus, it is worthy of being popularized in clinical nursing care.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the cluster intervention in new nurses in the Department of Neurosurgery in occupation training, so as to provide reference for the clinical training of new nurses. MethodsEight nurses who entered the Department of Neurosurgery in January 2013 were set as control group and the 8 new nurses entering in January 2014 as the observation group. The control group was adopted the traditional training methods, while the observation group underwent used extra cluster intervention. The differences in the results of theory, technology, operation and the 360-degree evaluation between the two groups were analyzed at the end of year. ResultsIn the observation group, the median theory examination score was 91.50, median operation assessment grades was 95.00, which were higher than those in the control group (82.00 and 83.00). The average scores of 360-degree evaluation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group with a significant difference (P < 0.01). ConclusionsIntensive intervention should be used for new nurses' training. It helps to improve the training effect and new nurses' ability.
