Abstract (type = abstract)
Purpose of Project: Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act violations present a severe risk to protecting student record privacy and the educational entity. This project aims to safeguard student record privacy in clinical nursing education. A comprehensive approach to FERPA training was created to improve the quality of an existing FERPA acknowledgment process at a large university.
Methodology: This project is a quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Comprehensive FERPA training was offered to a convenient sample of 135 faculty registered in the Orientation for Part-Time Faculty canvas course. A paired t-test was conducted via Microsoft Excel to test the null hypothesis of equal mean scores for the pre-test and post-test. Delta percentage in pre-test and post-test mean scores were analyzed to determine the change in knowledge attainment.
Results: 32 of 35 participants completed the assignment. The paired t-test results showed there was no statistical significance between the average scores of the pre-test and post-test. The delta percentage change revealed a 16% increase in scores from the pre-test to the post-test, with 53% of the 32 participants increasing their post-test scores after the intervention.
Implications for Practice: Upholding student privacy is integral to educational excellence. Non- compliance with the FERPA law can ruin educational entities' financial health and reputation. Healthcare professionals in teaching roles of all disciplines will benefit from comprehensive FERPA training.
