Abstract
The development of kinaesthetic competence in acute inpatient care: a feasibility study with a pre-posttest design Abstract:Background: Most patients in acute care hospitals experience movement limitations due to surgery or a general deterioration of their condition. Therefore, nurses need a high level of competence in movement promotion. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a three-day advanced kinaesthetics training course followed by six months of practical support to promote kinaesthetic competence in inpatient acute care and the competence development achieved as a result. Methods: The evaluation of the nurses' effectiveness was conducted using a pre- and post-measurement of kinaesthetic competence through a self-assessment questionnaire and an observation protocol. The evaluation of feasibility was done through a semi-structured questionnaire. Results: Eight nurses rated their kinaesthetics competence as good before (mean: 10,8 on a scale of 4-16) and very good after the intervention (mean: 13,2). The kinaesthetics trainer assessed the competence before as sufficient (mean: 9,4 on a scale of 4-16) and very good (mean: 14,5) after the practical support. The need to make practical support more flexible is highlighted in the qualitative data. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that a three-day training followed by six months of practical support has a positive impact on nurses' kinaesthetic competence.
期刊介绍:
Pflege ist die erste unabhängige wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für die Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege im deutschen Sprachbereich. Sie trägt zur Entwicklung der Pflegewissenschaft sowie zur Qualität der Pflege in der Praxis bei. Die Zeitschrift versteht sich als umfassendes Forum, in welchem die sich rasch entwickelnden Bereiche der Pflegeforschung, -theorie und -praxis sowie der Ausbildung, des Managements, der Ethik, Geschichte und Politik der Pflege diskutiert werden können. Zusammenfassungen von Forschungsberichten und Mitteilungen aus der internationalen Pflegeszene, Buchbesprechungen und der internationale Kongresskalender ermöglichen der Leserschaft, sich einen Überblick über das aktuelle Geschehen zu verschaffen, sich bezüglich berufsspezifischer Literatur auf dem Laufenden zu halten, um somit die Weiterbildung gezielt zu gestalten. Pflege publiziert Beiträge, die eine hohe Relevanz für Praxis, Forschung, Theorie, Ausbildung, Ethik, Geschichte, Politik und das Management in der Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum haben. Manuskripte ohne Bezug zur Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum werden abgelehnt.
