Brief Summary

Abstract<br /> Aims: The sufficient knowledge of nurses has an important role in increase of nurses’ care<br /> in the critical units. Work-centered learning or learning in work place is one of the ways<br /> which is considered recently in the education of the professions related to Medicine and<br /> Nursing. This study aimed to compare two clinical teammate educator and workshop<br /> methods in the interpretation of arterial blood gases to the nurses working in the<br /> intensive care units.<br /> Methods: In this quasi experimental study, from Firoozgar Tehran hospital intensive care<br /> units 3 units were randomly selected as number one experimental unit (clinical teammate<br /> method) and number 2 and 3 experimental units (workshop method) in 2013. The<br /> samples included nurses working in these units selected with achievable sampling. At the<br /> beginning and the end of the training courses, the knowledge of nurses in the<br /> interpretation of arterial blood gases in both groups was measured using a questionnaire.<br /> Data were analyzed by SPSS 19 software using descriptive and inferential statistics<br /> (Independent-T, exact Fisher and pair-T tests).<br /> Findings: There was a significant difference between before and after Nurses’ mean<br /> scores in workshop method group but there was no statistically significant difference<br /> between before and after nurses’ mean scores in clinical teammate group.<br /> Conclusion: Using workshop method is more appropriate compared with clinical<br /> teammate method to train the interpretation of arterial blood gases to the nurses of the<br /> critical care units.<br /> Keywords<br /> Education [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68004493];<br /> Intensive Care Units [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68007362];<br /> Blood Gas Analysis [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68001784]
