Abstract
In 2009, occupational health nursing faculty and professionals at the University of Washington developed an innovative continuing nursing education offering, the OHN Institute. The OHN Institute was designed to meet the following objectives: (1) extend basic occupational health nursing training to non-occupational health nurses in Federal Region X, (2) target new occupational health nurses or those who possessed little or no advanced education in occupational health nursing, and (3) offer a hybrid continuing nursing education program consisting of on-site and distance learning modalities. Evaluation findings suggested that the various continuing nursing education modalities and formats (e.g., asynchronous vs. synchronous, online modules vs. live modules) were essentially comparable in terms of effectiveness. Perhaps most importantly, the OHN Institute evaluation demonstrated that quality continuing nursing education outcomes for occupational health nurses depended largely on knowledgeable and engaging faculty and a compelling vision of desired outcomes, including the application of learned content to professional practice.
2009 年,华盛顿大学的职业健康护理教师和专业人员开发了一种创新的继续护理教育课程--职业健康护理学院。职业健康护理学院旨在实现以下目标:(1)将基本的职业健康护理培训扩展到联邦 X 区的非职业健康护士;(2)针对新的职业健康护士或在职业健康护理方面受过很少或没有受过高级教育的护士;(3)提供由现场和远程学习模式组成的混合继续护理教育课程。评估结果表明,各种继续护理教育模式和形式(如异步与同步、在线模块与现场模块)的效果基本相当。也许最重要的是,职业健康网研究所的评估表明,职业健康护士的优质继续护理教育成果在很大程度上取决于知识渊博、参与性强的教师以及对预期成果的令人信服的愿景,包括将所学内容应用于专业实践。
