Abstract (type = abstract)
Purpose: Maintaining self-confidence for an emergency department (ED) nurse can be challenging when performing low frequency high acuity clinical skills. A lack of continuous education to maintain skill retention for infrequently performed ED nursing skills can lead to a decrease in nursing self-confidence.
Methodology: A convenience sample of ED nurses at a Magnet designated facility in Bergen county New Jersey was used to implement a pilot project using a video educational module to increase ED nursing confidence. Participants were evaluated on their level of self-confidence before and after the use of the video module.
Results: It was discovered the participants had an increase of self-confidence when executing infrequently performed ED nursing skills. A paired t-test conducted between the pre- and post-test score provided a statistically significant p value of < .005.
Implications for Practice: Developing and sustaining ED nursing self-confidence is essential for providing quality, safe, and effective patient care. This can be achieved using video technology through a step-by-step video instruction of infrequently performed clinical skills.
Keywords: Emergency nursing education, technology education, e-based learning, and nursing confidence.
