| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of
an instructional programme on registered nurses' attitudes
towards nursing care plans and to compare these attitudes
with registered nurses who did not take part in the
instructional programme. A sample of 36 randomly selected
registered nurses "A" working full time in two hospitals in
Tanzania, completed questionnaires on nurses' attitudes
towards nursing care plans (pretest, posttest I and
posttest II). The experimental group received an
instructional programme on nursing process and nursing care
plans before posttest I. The participants' attitudes were
measured by means of the "Nursing Care Planning Rating
Scale" modified by Thomas (1984). Results indicated that
all participants had overall positive attitudes towards
nursing care plans. There was evidence that the
instructional programme had an effect on attitudes towards
care planning however, it was not significant at the Q<.05
level. There was no significant difference between the
participants in relation to age, educational background,
year of graduation and number of years of practice. Nursing
educators and nursing administrators can use these findings
in formulating a more constructive and practical
instructional programme on nursing process and nursing care
planning. | en |
