Collaborative model for continuing education for home health nurses.

Nursing is at the heart of home care; therefore, the profession of nursing must ensure the availability of qualified nurses to provide and manage care in the growing and increasingly complex home care market. In response to this need, the College of Nursing, Arizona State University, developed a CE program for nurse clinicians and managers in home care. This article describes the development, implementation, and outcomes of a project that linked service agencies with education in this collaborative endeavor.

A guide to patient education.

Effective patient education can help patients feel less anxious, more in control of their lives, and better able to play an active role in the perioperative state of the surgical process. As patient educators, nurses fulfill a vital role in teaching patients how to manage the challenges they may face. Many learning theories can be used alone or combined with various teaching techniques (see Table 2). Ultimately, however, the key to effective patient education is the concern and commitment of the nurse educator.

On any Saturday--a practical model for diabetes education.

PURPOSE: Patient self-management is an important part of treating chronic diseases. However, many primary care physicians face barriers in offering office-based diabetes education. This paper will discuss a practical program of community-based diabetes education that can be easily modified for a practitioner's office. PROCEDURE: Half-day diabetes education workshops geared toward local health care providers and patients with diabetes and their families were conducted in two rural communities in Arkansas. Participants were surveyed with respect to the effectiveness of the program and how they would use what they learned in the program. FINDINGS: Thirty-one health care providers and 59 patients with diabetes and their families attended. Program evaluation scores were between 4.1 and 5 on a 5-point Likert scale. One third of the patients commented that they had a better understanding of diet and medication use. Feedback from community health care providers noted that attendance in local diabetes support groups increased after the workshops. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes complications have a large impact on the health of the population and a growing economic impact on the health care industry. Although there are many barriers to diabetes education and control, a practical half-day diabetes workshop on any Saturday can be effectively developed and implemented.

[Local meeting series--a model for continuing education of the general practice staff].

During the period January 1987 to June 1990 28 educational afternoon meetings were held for the office staff and nurses in general practice in Bodø, as well as for the nurses in the Bodø emergency clinic/service. Office staff and nurses in the occupational health service were also invited, bringing the number up to 42. On average 40.0% of the invited persons attended the meetings. Each meeting lasted 2 hours. The number attending the last meetings was so few that the series was discontinued. However, an initiative has been taken recently to reassume the series.
