摘要:

The authors describe the assessment, planning, implementation, and benefits of a local area network (LAN) for the nursing service of a 504-bed urban teaching hospital. The major goals of the network were to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the nursing administrative areas and improve communication systems. A network of more than 90 workstations, spanning 12 buildings, was installed. The network provides access to multiple programs that support clinical, managerial, and research activities. Gateways provide access to the hospital's two mainframe computers. Network benefits identified by nursing management include: improved communication and access to information; increased accuracy, efficiency and timeliness of data; and improved computer literacy.

摘要:

Although dozens of studies regarding computer-based instruction (CBI] in nursing education have been conducted oven the last 25 years, little has been done to summarize these studies quantitatively. In the current study, the authors used Glass's techniques of metaanalysis (Glass, McGaw, S. Smith, 1981) to integrate statistically findings from 29 comparative studies concerning CBI. A clear majority of these studies favored CBI over conventional methods of instruction. The overall achievement effect size for 2B studies that quantified outcomes was 0.45, a medium-sized effect. Two study feature variables—type of CBI and required versus elective course— related to effect size. Interactive video applications of CBI produced larger effects than tutorial, computer-managed, and simulation applications, and CBI implementations in elective courses showed larger effects than implementations in required courses. Few studies reported on outcomes of retention, attitudes, and time to learn. The results demonstrate a need for more and better reported research to identify instructional qualities that lead to positive student outcomes.

摘要:

Epidemiology and its application to community health nursing is an essential concept for baccalaureate nursing students. To facilitate student learning, nursing faculty chose to use computer assisted instruction (CAI) as an adjunct teaching-learning strategy. An interdisciplinary team, including nursing content specialists and a computer programmer, produced an interactive CAI that integrated epidemiologic content, community health nursing practice, and learning-theory principles. Contents of the program modules are described, and program strategies used to enhance learning are delineated. Evaluation of the program indicated students [N=10B) believed the content was clearly explained and preferred learning epidemiology through combining classroom learning with CAI rather than through textbook reading assignments.

摘要:

Visiting nurses are increasingly challenged by the health care delivery system to provide sophisticated technological care to a growing number of patients in their homes. Much of this care is devoted to the care of the older adult. Few nurses currently in practice have received formal preparation in gerontology; thus, a knowledge deficit exits. Recognizing the challenge of teaching visiting nurses to develop individual interests in the scientific and technologic aspects of gerontologic nursing, the Visiting Nurse Association of Cleveland designed and proposed a comprehensive project to teach gerontologic nursing using the American Nurses Association Standards of Gerontologic Nursing Practice (American Nurses Association, 19B7) through discovery learning and distance education via computer and other educational interventions. Community health nursing offers a unique approach to linking practice to education and research and provides organizational and educational alternatives to traditional continuing education
