“…In the current study we found that nurses’ attitudes towards depression had improved after the training program. This finding echoes Butler's and Quayle's () results, though researchers in two other studies did not report significant change in nurses’ attitudes towards depression after the educational intervention (Lea, ; van Daele et al, ). Price () noted that, through persuasion (understanding what needs to change and what the consequences could be), nurses’ attitudes might change, and such attitudes could reflect their practice.…”

“…In addition to studies conducted in LTCFs, Butler and Quayle () conducted a 16‐hr program and found that it was effective in improving 66 nurses’ late‐life depression knowledge level and attitudes about depression. Moreover, Lea () investigated the effects of a web‐based tutorial on 35 nurses’ attitudes about depression in patients with heart failure and suggested that implementing a face‐to‐face educational intervention may be better than a web‐based program. The author believed that nurses’ attendance at a training program could contribute to their improved beliefs and thoughts about depression.…”

In long-term care facilities (LTCFs), nurses are key healthcare providers for older residents who have depressive symptoms or depression; therefore, they need accurate knowledge of late-life depression, positive attitudes towards depression, and confidence in providing depression care. This cluster-randomized trial was designed to examine the effectiveness of multiple, face-to-face, brief training sessions in improving nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in providing late-life depression care in LTCFs. Nine LTCFs were included in the study. In total, 30 nurses from the four LTCFs assigned to the intervention group received three 30-min training sessions and 36 nurses in the five comparison group LTCFs did not.A self-report questionnaire was administered before and after the intervention.There were significant differences between groups concerning improvement in nurses' knowledge of late-life depression, attitudes towards depression, and confidence in providing depression care. The effect size (Cohen's d) was 1.55 for knowledge, 1.38 for attitudes, and 0.89 for confidence. This training program was effective in improving LTCF nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in providing depression care. On the basis of these findings, we recommend that nurse managers and directors implement similar training programs for nurses in LTCFs to enhance the care quality for older residents.aging, attitude, confidence, depression, intervention, late-life depression knowledge, long-term care facilities, nurse

Background:The neuroprotective interventions are necessary for developing the brain of premature neonates. Neonatal nurses require continuing education about this subject and nowadays distance education is a possibility. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of web-based teaching on knowledge, attitude, and practice of nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: This quasi-experimental pre-and post-intervention study with a control group was conducted in 2018. A total number of 70 nurses from selected hospitals affiliated to the Iran University of Medical Sciences were assessed for their knowledge, attitude, and practice in seven neuroprotective core measures prior to the intervention. A four-week standardized training package was implemented in these hospitals through virtual classroom approach. After six weeks of post-intervention, all nurses who attended the virtual training were assessed for the same competencies using the WEE care assessment tool. The reliability of the tool was estimated by calculating the internal consistency of items (α = 0.95). The t test and repeated measures ANOVA were conducted to analyze the data using SPSS V. 16 software. Results:The findings indicated that the mean score of knowledge significantly increased (P < 0.001) in the web-based education group (21.97 ± 5.64) compared to the control group (13.94 ± 4.7). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean scores of attitude and practice. Conclusions: Web-based teaching was found to be effective in improving the knowledge of nurses; however, the results suggest that virtual teaching methods need to be developed to affect the attitude and practice of neonatal nurses.

“…A previous study reported that a Web-based educational intervention did not improve nurses' beliefs about depression in patients with heart failure. 41 The author suggested conducting face-to-face workshops instead of Web-based tutorials for better outcomes in the future. On the contrary, Butler and Quayle 33 found that a face-to-face training program lasting for 2 days was effective in increasing primary care nurses' late-life depression knowledge and improving their attitudes about depression.…”

Depression in older population is more common now. Due to increasing numbers of older patients in hospitals, nurses have more opportunities to care for these patients. Therefore, nurses should have correct knowledge of late-life depression and more favorable attitudes about depression. The study aimed to understand hospital nurses’ knowledge level of late-life depression and attitudes about depression. A cross-sectional research design was used. A convenience sample of 307 nurses from 3 hospitals in Taiwan was recruited. Nurses scored 55.15% in the Late-Life Depression Quiz. The average score of the Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire was 71.76 (SD = 6.13). The study also found that hospital nurses had more favorable attitudes about depression when their late-life depression knowledge was higher; their interest level in providing care for older patients with depression was greater; they had ever taken care of older patients with depressive symptoms or depression; they had never received in-service training on depression in the past year; and they had ever attended lectures about depression in school. Hospital nurses’ knowledge about late-life depression was limited, and they had neutral to slightly favorable attitudes about depression in Taiwan. It is suggested to carefully examine and evaluate in-service training related to depression for nurses in hospitals. In addition, developing appropriate interventions to increase hospital nurses’ knowledge level of late-life depression and attitudes toward depression is recommended.
