Best practice techniques for administration of injections:
Impact of lecture based interactive workshops
on training of nursesInsaf Altun1, Nursan Dede Cinar2, Özlem Canpolat Barin3
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine if a structured workshop on best practice technique for the administration of injections for nurses results in an improvement in knowledge on the subject.
Methodology: Nurses attended an interactive lecture-based workshop on best practice technique for the administration of injections. Participants had to accept an invitation to the presentation prior to the training event. They completed a multiple choice question (MCQ) test, derived from topics covered in the presentation, prior to the lecture. The MCQ test was repeated after the lecture to assess retention and application of knowledge.
Results: Thirty-eight nurses participated in the workshop. There was a significant improvement in mean test scores after the lecture when compared with pre-lecture scores (Mean=16.5, SD=3.7 vs. Mean=7.8, SD=1.9, p<0.001).
Conclusions: Lecture based workshop on best practice techniques of administration of injections helps improve nurses knowledge. It also helps in overcoming deficiencies in nurses training.
