As nurses play an active role in the prevention of catheter-related infections, their knowledge and attitudes on this subject are important.

The intervention group (n = 35) received evidence-based face-to-face education. The control group (n = 35) received routine in-service training. The nurses' knowledge and attitudes were assessed before, immediately after, and 3 months after the education.Results: After the training, the intervention group had statistically higher total scores than the control group on both scales immediately after the training (p < .001 and p = .008, respectively) and 3 months after the training (p = .001 and p < .001, respectively).Conclusion: The evidence-based structured educational intervention about catheter-related infection prevention practices positively affected the knowledge and attitudes of surgical nurses.

A common approach in nursing education is simulation-based training. Although its effectiveness was studied in a sample of undergraduate students, evidence of its effectiveness in nursing continuing education is lacking. This review examined the effectiveness of simulation-based instruction in advancing nursing proficiency in lifelong or continuing learning.Method: Searches of EMBASE, MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were performed. Studies conducted between 2000 and 2023, focusing on postregistration or postlicensure nurses undergoing simulation-based training to improve their nursing proficiency, were considered for review. The quality of the studies was assessed using the transparency, accuracy, purpose, utility, propriety, accessibility, and specificity (TAPUPAS) criteria. Data were synthesized with narrative summaries.Results: A total of 14 studies with a total sample size of 1,204 nurses met the eligibility criteria. Studies showed that simulation-based instruction in nursing continuing education improves knowledge and skills. Some studies showed disagreements on the effectiveness of simulation-based training on other factors.Conclusion: Embracing high-fidelity simulation in continuing education is crucial for advancing proficiency. Tailoring simulation scenarios to specific competency domains is recommended to address variations in outcomes. Policymakers are encouraged to integrate simulation into education policies and support ongoing research to refine best practices and align policies with evolving nursing needs.

Within the local environment, a critical need was identified to connect expert bedside nurses with novice nurses to support the development of critical thinking.Method: This article describes the development and pilot evaluation of a critical reflection mentorship program, Beyond the Bedside. The program was developed and deployed in three inpatient units within an adult academic health center. Critical thinking was evaluated using the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire (N-CT-4 Practice) pre- and postprogram implementation.Results: Five nurses participated in the pre- and postevaluation, and the N-CT-4 Practice mean scores were significantly higher after program implementation.Conclusion: Education leaders should prioritize programs that support critical thinking among novice nurses, and the Beyond the Bedside program can be adapted for use in other health care settings.

An online survey measured usefulness, knowledge, and the change in self-perceived competence.Discussion: A total of 536 nurses participated, and 91.2% correctly answered five or six of six questions about device management. The proportion of nurses rating their competence as no experience decreased from 21.2% to 4.5%, and ratings for can do independently/competent increased from 37.6% to 60.2%.Conclusion: The use of QR codes offers novel solutions to evaluate how structured, on-the-job education can positively impact nursing practice around medical devices.

During normal times, medical-surgical nurses may forget cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills as soon as 3 months after training, leaving them unprepared and anxious about managing cardiac arrests. During pandemic surges, heightened anxiety can also impact concentration and confidence.Method: Clinicians offered a 45-minute mock code training refresher for medical-surgical nurses to improve confidence performing CPR while adhering to pandemic-related safety procedures. In this pre-post clinical education project, nurses' confidence was measured with the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making© Scale.Results: Although the results were not statistically significant, participants verbally reported increased confidence to initiate resuscitation, collaborate with team members, and use personal protective equipment during the posttraining debrief.Conclusion: A high percentage of RNs do not have adequate confidence and/or competence in performing CPR, particularly during times of system-wide strain, and this brief, inexpensive refresher training warrants further study.
