Effectiveness of Training Programs on Nurse's Competency in Integrated Patient Progress Note

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a training programme for nurses' knowledge regarding Integrated Patient Progress Notes (IPPN). METHODOLOGY: This interventional study was conducted on nurses at Universitas Syiah Kuala Hospital. The study was conducted in August 2024. One group pre-test and post-test were used in this study. A total of 33 nurses were included in the current study. The intervention was provided with a training program to improve the competency of nurses. This study uses self-administered questionnaire sheets that contain two sections: nurses' demographic data and nurses' knowledge assessment of the IPPN. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, as the Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed the non-normal distribution. RESULTS: The statistical test analysis findings indicated that the nurses' competency in Integrated Patient Progress Note (IPPNs) was significantly impacted before and after the training program (Z = -3.095; p-value 0.002). CONCLUSION: Further assistance is needed to improve the competency of nurses in the Integrated Patient Progress Note. It is hoped that nurses receiving continued mentoring regarding Integrated Patient Progress Note (IPPN) will improve patient safety.
