Abstract

|

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of an education program on inter-rater agreement of eonatal/Infant Braden Q Scale for clinical nurses working at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Methods: This was single-arm pre and post experimental study. The participants were 12 nurses and 128 hospitalized neonates at a NICU from December, 2012 to March, 2013. Twelve nurses were divided into four different groups; for two groups were assigned nurses with 3 to 5 years of clinical experiences, and for the others with less than 1 year of clinical experience. The interventions were given by one wound ostomy specialist and two NICU nurses with over 5 years of clinical experiences for 1 hour twice. The inter-rater agreement was measured by intraclass-correlation coefficient.
Results: Overall inter-rater agreement was improved from .87(95% CI: .80~.92) at the pre-test to .94(.91~.96) at post-test. Each inter-rater agreement except moisture and nutrition was also improved.
Conclusion: The developed education program on scoring for Neonatal/Infant Braden Q scale was effective to improve the inter-rater agreement among clinical nurses. We suggest to privide an education for NICU nurse before using the Neonatal/Infant Braden Q scale in clinical settings.
