The effect of education on nurses' assessments in an epilepsy monitoring unit.

CONCLUSIONS: The Nurse Assessment Rating Scale enabled the researchers to transform a qualitative measure of assessment into a quantitative indicator that could be compared pre- and post-education. Second, data indicated that the education significantly improved the assessment scores. With education, original protocols were reinforced and assessments became more consistent resulting in improved scores. Third, using a multimodal education format targeted aspects of performance such as respect and compassion. PMID: 22953433 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
