This exploratory study sought to determine the extent to which an 8-hour educational course modified the behavioral perceptions and the knowledge of CRNACEs.The effects of the CRNACE course were measured using a questionnaire that consisted of 22 Likert scale items and 8 open-ended questions. The study population included 33 CRNACEs. Their responses were assessed before the course, after the course, and during a 2-month follow-up.It was determined that the CRNACE course positively modified participants' perceived behaviors and knowledge after instruction and at the 2-month follow-up. Additional findings included that information provided during the CRNACE course did not change the perceptions of CRNACEs related to their ability to communicate with students or their willingness to modify their teaching practices.Providing instruction incorporating principles of adult learning using an active learning format for CRNACEs may improve the clinical learning experiences for SNAs. As a result, SNAs would be better pre-pared to make the transition to clinical expert. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
