|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe performance and education needs related to neurologic assessment by neurologic ward nurses.
Methods: The study was conducted with a cross-sectional descriptive design. Participants, 297 neurologic ward nurses working in tenmajor hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi were surveyed from September 7 to October 1, 2015.
Results: The mean score for performance of neurologic assessments was 3.04 points. Performances performed with high quality were orientation exam, mental status documentation, and muscle strength of extremities in that order. Performances performed with low quality were assessment of accessory nerves, hypoglossal nerves, and cerebellum function in that order. There were significant differences according to whether there was ward education programs on neurologic assessment and teaching experiences within a year. These variables significantly affected the quality of neurologic assessment performance. The need for neurologic assessment training was 3.14 points.
Conclusion: Amount of performance and demand for education on neurologic assessment, which are required in the clinical setting, were significantly high. To perform neurologic assessments with high quality, development of education program for neurologic assessment and continuous education courses are required at either the department or neurological nursing organization level.
