Although health care providers advise healthy and chronically ill adults to adopt positive health behaviors, traditional interventions focused on motivation and intention have been largely ineffective. Researchers have tested the ability of continuous self-improvement (CSI), an innovative personal system-based intervention, to affect health behavior change at the individual level. This paper systematically reviews CSI interventions focused on improving health behaviors. A search of multiple databases was performed using 'continuous self-improvement' as the search term. Abstracts of identified studies were reviewed to determine if CSI was used as an intervention-regardless of sample size, study type, or language. This review identified nine studies testing the CSI intervention in healthy or chronically ill adults. Effect sizes for the two randomized controlled trials were large. CSI shows promise as an effective intervention across a broad age range for a variety of difficult-to-change behaviors. Future research should address methodologic weaknesses.

In an academic programme, completion of a postgraduate degree project could be a significant means of promoting student learning in evidence- and experience-based practice. In specialist nursing education, which through the European Bologna process would be raised to the master's level, there is no tradition of including a postgraduate degree project. The aim was to develop a didactic model for specialist nursing students' postgraduate degree projects within the second cycle of higher education (master's level) and with a specific focus on nurturing shared involvement between universities and healthcare settings. This study embodies a participatory action research and theory-generating design founded on empirically practical try-outs. The 3-year project included five Swedish universities and related healthcare settings. A series of activities was performed and a number of data sources secured. Constant comparative analysis was applied. A didactic model is proposed for postgraduate degree projects in specialist nursing education aimed at nurturing shared involvement between universities and healthcare settings. The focus of the model is student learning in order to prepare the students for participation as specialist nurses in clinical knowledge development. The model is developed for the specialist nursing education, but it is general and could be applicable to various education programmes.

Personal improvement project in nursing education: learning methods and tools for continuous quality improvement in nursing practice

Abstract: Personal improvement projects seem to be an effective way of introducing CQI knowledge to nursing students. Even those who did not succeed in achieving personal improvement felt they had a positive learning outcome from the project.
