| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: Continuous cardiac telemetry is essential for detecting abnormal heart rhythms,; yet nurses reassigned as telemetry technicians often receive minimal training. This project; evaluates whether additional education enhances their confidence in this role.; Rationale/Background: Competent staff are crucial for patient safety. Nurses proficient in; rhythm interpretation are frequently reassigned to telemetry monitoring but often lack; specialized training, leading to feelings of unpreparedness. Addressing this gap through targeted; education may improve nurse confidence and care quality.; Methods: A literature review identified the importance of self-efficacy in nursing performance.; Nurses within a hospital cardiac unit will complete a pre-training survey assessing their; confidence in telemetry monitoring. A virtual training, including a PowerPoint presentation and; question and answer session, will be developed. A reference sheet summarizing key concepts; will be provided. A post-training survey will measure confidence changes.; Results: Nurses will rate their confidence in rhythm analysis, software use, protocols, and; overall performance using a Likert scale (0-5) and include open-ended responses for additional; insights. Higher post-training scores will indicate improved confidence and intervention success.; Conclusions: Targeted training is expected to significantly enhance nurses' self-efficacy in; telemetry monitoring, leading to a more prepared workforce and improved patient outcomes. |
