摘要:

The REACH for TLC (telephone-linked care) project is a randomized study to assess the feasibility and usefulness of a computer-mediated telecommunications system for family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease. The development of this automated system created technical challenges compounded by the participation in a national multisite research study. Issues arose due to the difference of cultures between researchers and technology developers. Strategic approaches were implemented proactively and during the course of the intervention to balance the competing demands of technology development and outcomes research. Key issues are discussed and recommendations made to assist others interested in developing technology-based applications for intervention research.

摘要:

Previous literature on evaluation of computer-assisted learning (CAL) programs has generally not emphasized the importance of evaluation during the design and development phases. A tendency toward an objective model of evaluation rather than a naturalistic model has also meant that there is little consideration given to the context in which students learn. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the benefits of using a combination of objective and naturalistic models when undertaking a formative evaluation of a computer-assisted learning program. During the design and development phases, the program, Pharmacology Resource for Nurses (PRN), was evaluated using observation of student pairs, student questionnaires, and student focus group interviews to address the complex issues underlying program effectiveness. This study confirmed the importance and value of collecting a variety of evaluation data in order to produce a useful learning program for students.

摘要:

The informatics nurse specialist (INS) is often the primary change agent in facilitating the implementation of clinical information systems (CIS) in healthcare settings. The INS has a unique understanding of the nursing issues that can affect the change process, and thus is in a key position to facilitate positive implementation outcomes. Innovation-diffusion theory is particularly useful in its application to the change agent role of the INS. With this theoretical knowledge, the INS can design CIS training interventions according to the psychological phenomena of Rogers' Innovation-Decision Process. An understanding of the decision-making process and the distribution of different rates of innovation adoption within a given population enable the INS to anticipate and address influential factors that affect the implementation process. Thus, Innovation-Diffusion Theory may be used as a powerful cognitive tool for the INS in facilitating the diffusion process and nurses' adoption of the technology in practice.

摘要:

This study compared the effectiveness of three instructional intervention strategies for teaching nursing students about congenital heart disease (CHD). They are: (1) computer-assisted instruction (CAI), (2) traditional class room lecture (TCL); and (3) the combination of CAI and TCL.The subjects were associate degree nursing (ADN) students enrolled in a pediatric nursing course at the University of Cincinnati Raymond Walters College. Differences between pre- and post-scores on a 20-item multiple choice test were analyzed by analysis of variance. There was a significant improvement in scores for all groups but no significant difference in improvement in scores between the CAI group and the TCL group. The CAI/TCL group showed significant improvement in scores compared with the other two groups. The researcher concluded that when teaching strategies are comparable, CAI is as effective as TCL. Used together, a significant improvement is seen in student performance than when either strategy is used alone.
