The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two ostomy care programs onnurses' knowledge and skills toward ostomy care. The two-group quasi-experimental researchdesign was adapted as a guide for this study. Fifty-six nurses working in a medical center in centralTaiwan were selected by accidental sampling. Twenty-six nurses were assigned to an experimentalgroup that included three to five nurses in a group with a discussion teaching method used andthirty nurses were assigned to a control group, in which they received a group lecture teachingprogram. Tests were given to both groups before the ostomy care program (pre-test) and onefollow-up test (post-test) was given 3 weeks after the program. The results indicated that thesubjects who received the individual discussion teaching method had better improvement inknowledge and skills than those who received the group teaching program during post-test. Itshows that discussion and demonstration according to a nurses' learning needs were the teachingstrategies that improved nurses'knowledge and skills toward ostomy care. These findings mayprovide an effective and systematic teaching program for clinical nursing educators to improve theefficiency of a nursing continuing education program.Key Words: ostomy care program, nurses'knowledge, osto |
