专门的教育单位（deu）已经成为学术实践合作伙伴关系中重要的临床教育创新。但是，以前并没有进行严格的评价。本文介绍了一项随机、对照、多年、多地点研究的结果，比较了在同一护理课程中接受DEU创新和传统临床教育模式教育的学生的临床教育质量。这项评估是在一项更大的研究中进行的，该研究主要关注一所大型城市大学的教学能力、教师工作生活和教育质量，该大学与三家机构合作。为了检查学习效果，提出的问题是，“与传统临床教育相比，DEU干预在哪些方面（如果有的话）提高了教育质量？”结果表明，临床指导的DEUs学生的教育质量和学习收益明显更积极。研究结果将对寻求提高临床教学、学习和护理实践质量的教育和实践领导者感兴趣。
Dedicated education units (DEUs) have emerged as an important clinical education innovation within academic practice partnerships. However, rigorous evaluation has not been conducted previously. This article presents findings from a randomized, controlled, multiyear, multisite study comparing the clinical education quality for students educated in either the DEU innovation or traditional clinical education model within the same nursing course. The evaluation occurred within a larger study focusing on teaching capacity, faculty work life, and educational quality at one large, urban university collaborating with three agency partners. To examine learning outcomes, the question posed was, "In what ways, if any, does the DEU intervention, when compared to traditional clinical education, enhance educational quality?" Results indicate that educational quality and learning gains are significantly more positive for students clinically instructed in DEUs. Findings will be of interest to education and practice leaders seeking to enhance the quality of clinical teaching, learning, and nursing practice.
