Effectiveness of educational video on standardized nursing language for nursing home nurses

Abstract

Objectives Developing nursing plans using standardized taxonomy offers for a better understanding of how nursing abilities affect the achievement of better levels of outcomes for NH residents. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an educational video on standardized nursing languages (SNLs) developed for nursing home nurses. Methods We used a single group pre–post study design. We collected presurvey data from April 25 to June 22, 2022 and postsurvey data from May 23 to July 18, 2022. Sixteen nursing homes (NHs) participated in this study. We collected data on nurses’ knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes towards SNLs and the evidence-based nursing practice self-efficacy. Analysis was conducted utilizing the McNemar test. Results The educational video about standardized nursing languages were provided to 31 registered nurses (RNs) from 16 NHs in Korea. Knowledge about the definition of SNLs and the benefits of their utilization improved after watching educational video. Conclusions Study findings support the effectiveness of educational videos on SNLs in increasing knowledge of SNLs, as well as confidence in the profession. To support NH nurses’ professional development, ongoing SNL-focused education and research on innovative training methods like videos are recommended. Implication for an international audience Developing nursing plans using a common, standardized taxonomy offers a good chance to more clearly observe how nursing abilities affect the achievement of better levels of health and wellbeing. Education using audiovisual materials may help NH RNs learn how to utilize SNLs and may further enhance the development of SNL through periodic, long-term education and SNL-based nursing practice.
