Advancing spinal care excellence: A specialized training series for trauma nurse practitioners
Background
Trauma nurse practitioners (TNPs) play an essential role in trauma and orthopaedic care domains. Their contributions extend beyond the mere provision of patient care; they also serve to mitigate physician shortages. TNPs deliver comprehensive post- and pre-operative care and assist patients in their healing process, from the initial stages following fractures through to the various stages of treatment. This study focuses on developing a teaching series to improve their knowledge and skills in managing spine trauma. Materials and methods: We developed a structured educational program integrating theoretical instruction, interactive workshops, and practical sessions. The curriculum encompasses spinal anatomy, injury assessment, radiological imaging, and management strategies. Following these sessions, we gathered feedback through surveys to evaluate participants' confidence, knowledge enhancement, and overall satisfaction.
Results
A thorough statistical analysis of the collected surveys revealed a significant enhancement in TNP confidence, as indicated by a P value of 7.45 × 10−9, thus confirming the effectiveness of the training program. Approximately 82 % of respondents reported a considerable increase in their knowledge, while 85 % indicated that the outcomes of these sessions met their expectations. Furthermore, a substantial majority of participants, 96 %, expressed a desire for additional education and training.
Conclusion
The educational series has enhanced the confidence and expertise of Trauma Nurse Practitioners (TNPs) in managing spinal trauma. Our findings underscore the importance of implementing structured training programs to maximise TNPs' contributions, improve patient care, and reduce the burden on orthopaedic surgeons. Future research may investigate the long-term impacts, broaden training, and incorporate additional topics. Ultimately, this underscores the significance of continuous education for orthopaedic nursing.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
