Nurse Manager

Category - HR

You have finished a staff development program relating to MRSA. The target audience was registered and licensed practical nurses. The content included information about MRSA, methods of prevention and the latest research and evidence based practices relating to MRSA. After the class, you collected two measurement tools, a post test and a learner evaluation form which measures the learners’ perceptions relating to the success of the class and how well the learners feel that they have met the stated objectives of this class. What should you do next?
  1. Plan a course like this every years so that the staff continue to learn about MRSA and its prevention
  2. Assess the levels of competency for RNs and LPNs relating to MRSA and MRSA prevention
  3. Make rounds and verbally get feedback from the class participants about how much they liked the course
  4. Analyze MRSA data and assess the staff competency in terms of MRSA and MRSA prevention
Explanation
Answer: D - After a course is completed it is best to analyze patient outcome data (MRSA occurrences over time) and assessing the competency of staff in terms of MRSA and MRSA prevention procedures (behavior). The former is an example of Kirkpatrick’s Results evaluation and the latter is an example of Kirkpatrick’s Behavior evaluation. Both are over and above the data obtained on the post test (Learning) and the learner evaluation form (Reaction).
