Abstract
Background:
High-quality transitional care at discharge is essential for improved patient outcomes. Registered nurses (RNs) play integral roles in transitions; however, few receive structured training.
Purpose:
We sought to create, implement, and evaluate an evidence-informed nursing transitional care coordination curriculum, the Transitions Nurse Training Program (TNTP).
Methods:
We conceptualized the curriculum using adult learning theory and evaluated with the New World Kirkpatrick Model. Self-reported engagement, satisfaction, acquired knowledge, and confidence were assessed using surveys. Clinical and communication skills were evaluated by standardized patient assessment and behavior sustainment via observation 6 to 9 months posttraining.
Results:
RNs reported high degrees of engagement, satisfaction, knowledge, and confidence and achieved a mean score of 92% on clinical and communication skills. Posttraining observation revealed skill sustainment (mean score 98%).
Conclusions:
Results suggest TNTP is effective for creating engagement, satisfaction, acquired and sustained knowledge, and confidence for RNs trained in transitional care.
