To determine if changes occurred in nurses’ knowledge regarding delirium and risk factors after educational intervention

(Quantitative quality improvement project )

Convenience sample of 34 ICU nurses at one 28-bed unit/ medical center

Quasi-experimental:

Pre/Post Test

Statistical improvement in overall recognition scores after educational intervention

Knowledge did improve after education. Before intervention, nurses showed limited awareness of identifying delirium and what tools to use

Single unit, low participation, time constraints, data availability, exclusion of clinical lit review in intervention design

the effect of educational interventions on recognition of

delirium

Systematic Review

26 studies selected

Literature review, identification of studies meeting review criteria, classification of studies by PRECEDE model, rating studies by levels of Kirkpatrick Model of Learning Outcomes

Interventions can be grouped into four types:

Type 1 (9) studies showed greater

knowledge and self-confidence but with a high degree of

variability in reporting the results, Type 2 (11) studies significant

knowledge gain and improved confidence in recognizing

delirium, and some demonstrated behavior modification in

identifying delirium and improved recognition of delirium, Type 3 (1) study did not show improvement, Type 4 (5)

Using a

Include a single multifaceted intervention

or a combination of interventions across

all three type

variety of strategies for nursing education on the recognition of delirium is most effective and were more likely to result in a changes in staff practice and health outcomes

Difficulty in combing results and drawing conclusion with studies using various approaches, not possible to include unpublished studies that increased risk of publication bias, exclusion of some studies because of inadequate description of educational interventions
