目的：评价结构化教育项目对提高肿瘤护士在癌症患者营养评估和咨询中的知识、自信心和自我效能感的效果。随机抽取肿瘤科护士60名为实验组和对照组各30名。参与者在完成教育计划之前完成了一项知识测试。结果：干预组干预前后的自信心和自我效能感差异有统计学意义(t=-16.00，P=0.001)。此外，实验组(M=60.50，SD=13.10)和对照组(M=36.5，SD=7.6)在管理癌症患者方面的自信心差异有统计学意义(t=-24.00，P=0.001)。实验组(M=33.5 0，SD=3.10)和对照组(M=2 3.25，SD=2.75)的自我效能感差异有统计学意义(t=-10.25，P=0.001)。结论：提高了肿瘤科护士在营养评估和咨询方面的知识、自信和自我效能感。提高护士的能力将改善为患者提供的护理质量和患者的健康结果。(C)2018 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Objective: Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of a structured educational program on improving oncology nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and self-efficacy in nutritional assessment and counseling for patients with cancer.Methods: A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. A sample of 60 nurses from oncology units participated as an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). The participants completed a knowledge test before completing the educational program. Self-confidence and self-efficacy also were assessed pre- and postintervention.Results: There was a significant difference between the experimental (mean [M] = 26.00, SD = 8.00) and control (M = 10.00, SD = 3.75) groups regarding knowledge after the interventional sessions (t=-16.00, P = 0.001). Furthermore, the results indicated a significant difference (t=-24.00, P= 0.001) between the experimental group (M = 60.50, SD = 13.10) and the control group (M = 36.50, SD = 7.60) regarding self-confidence in managing cancer patients. Finally, there was a significant difference between the experimental group (M = 33.50, SD = 3.10) and control group (M = 23.25, SD = 2.75) regarding self-efficacy (t=-10.25, P=0.001).Conclusions: The educational program improved the oncology nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and self efficacy in relation to nutritional assessment and counseling. Improving nurses' competencies will improve the quality of care provided to the patients and patient health outcomes. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
