Abstract
Purpose: To assess and improve school nurse knowledge of HPV-associated cancers.
Design: An experimental quality improvement study.
Methods: At a continuing education regional conference, an interactive HPV education session was provided. Pre- and post-education surveys were completed by attendees.
Findings: After the educational intervention, 89.9% of nurses indicated a change in knowledge and 83.2% indicated a planned change in practice.
Conclusions: An education intervention aimed at school nurses can be impactful in broadening the understanding of HPV oncogenesis.
Clinical evidence: Educational interventions can be a strategy to increase school nurse knowledge and subsequently patient knowledge about HPV associated cancers.
期刊介绍：
This innovative publication focuses on health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice -- home health care, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education, and public health administration. Well-researched articles provide practical and up-to-date information to aid the nurse who must frequently make decisions and solve problems without the back-up support systems available in the hospital. The journal is a forum for community health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in the field.
