Abstract | Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to provide an innovative, participatory approach to the education of staff nurses and nursing support personnel to improve skills and competencies in wound and ostomy care while enhancing staff engagement and empowerment. Participants and setting: Project planning occurred between January and October 2020 and implementation began in November 2020. The project was implemented in 1 intensive care unit and 6 adult medical-surgical units of a 288-bed community hospital in the northeastern United States (Bronxville, New York). Participants included RNs and nursing support staff working in intensive care and medical-surgical units. A postimplementation survey was conducted in May 2021. Approach: The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model was used as a framework for this QI intervention. A peer-to-peer approach to staff education addressing different learning styles was used to improve knowledge and competencies of staff nurses pertaining to wound and ostomy care. Outcomes: There were 72 participants; 68% (n = 49) exhibited knowledge retention 5 months after initial participation; 85% (n = 61) reported a high level of engagement; and 97.5% (n = 70) reported a high level of satisfaction 5 months after project implementation. Implications for practice: An emerging need exists for educational innovation regarding wound and ostomy care to improve quality of care, nursing care outcomes, and staff engagement. Through a peer-to-peer approach to wound and ostomy care education, enhanced clinical knowledge and competencies can result in improved patient safety and increase care outcomes. |
