Abstract
Background
Over the last two decades, global continuous efforts have been devoted to improving nursing research capacity. However, it is currently at a low to medium level in China and the training measures still have shortcomings such as lack of theoretical guidance, single content, short time and poor learning effect. To design a training programme about research capacity based on the ADDIE(analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, ADDIE) model and the tutor system for clinical nurses and evaluate its effect through before-and-after control.
Methods
A quasi-experimental, one-group, self-control, and pretest-posttest design study. From July 2020 to June 2021, forty-five clinical nurses from a hospital were enrolled and underwent the training programme based on ADDIE model, which included five stages. By special scales, the nurses’ levels of research capacity, self-efficacy and professional values were evaluated on a six months of theory training, a six months of practice training, and a follow-up six months after the training. Finally, forty nurses completed this study. SPSS25.0 software was used for analysis.
Results
The score of research capacity before training was 43.42 ± 22.50. The total scores of research capacity and its all dimensions, total scores of general self-efficacy and nurses professional values differed significantly in before, immediately after training and six months after training (P < 0.001). Six months after training, the numbers of application for scientific research projects, papers published and patent applications, were higher than those pre-training (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
The research capacity of clinical nurses was at a medium level. The tutorial training programme based on ADDIE model is beneficial to improve research capacity, self-efficacy and professional values of clinical nurses, and promote the output of research and innovation projects.
