Examining the continuing educational program of child and adolescent psychiatric nursing focusing on support for family

本研究旨在发展一套以儿童青少年精神科病房家属支援为重点之持续护理教育课程。本研究采用半结构式访谈法，针对儿童青少年精神科两年以上护理工作经验的护理人员，探讨其对家庭支持的现况及学习需求。根据护士家庭支持的现状、学习需求和文献资料，探讨护士家庭支持的教育需求。此外，还根据教育需求审查了教育方案。该方案将包括“家庭支持服务”、“家庭心理教育”、“了解家庭和与家庭打交道”、“沟通技巧”和“以家庭为中心的照顾”等教育内容。然而，在制定教育计划之前，护理人员应该讨论对家庭的适当支持。

The purpose of this study was to develop a continuing nursing education program which focus on the support for family in child and adolescent psychiatric ward. The semi-structured interviews regarding the present state of nurses' support for family and their learning needs were conducted to more than two year experience staff nurses in the child and adolescent psychiatric settings. Educational needs were explored on the basis of the present state of nurses' support for family, their learning needs and literature regarding support for family. Furthermore, education program was examined on the basis of educational needs. The educational content such as`Family SST', 'Family psychological education', `Understanding family and dealing with family', 'Communication skills' and 'Family centered care' will be included in the program. However, it is indicated that the appropriate support for family should be discussed among nurses before making the educational program.
