Improving Epilepsy Monitoring Unit Training for Registered Nurses

This quality improvement project was developed to increase the baseline knowledge of a group of registered nurses who work within a highly specialized in-patient healthcare setting, an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU). The increase in knowledge was trajected to decrease event reporting which would show improvement in this high-risk patient population’s safety. The pre-education survey was dispersed to the participants, the registered nurses, to obtain a baseline knowledge level. There was then EMU-specific educational material made available for the participants. After the set time, the participants were then given a post-education survey to determine if their post-test scores could reflect a goal of a 25% increase in their EMU knowledge level. This percent increase would directly impact the number of patient events reported which would improve patient safety within the EMU setting. After the completion of the project’s interventions, there was a 3% increase in EMU RNs’ baseline knowledge levels and a 100% decrease in patient adverse event reporting during the monitoring phase

Community Education: Impact on Earlier Recognition of Stroke

Cerebrovascular disease was identified as the fourth leading cause of death in Cleveland County, North Carolina from 2014 to 2018 (Cleveland County Public Health Center, 2020). Community education was identified as a potential solution to decreasing the number of community members affected by cerebrovascular disease and resulting death and disability. Five community classes were taught with 97 participants. Pre-, post-, and 1-week post-class surveys were distributed to assess baseline knowledge, knowledge gain, and knowledge retention, with 74 pre-class, 72 post-class, and 28 1-week post-class surveys returned. Of these surveys, after exclusionary criteria were used, 40 pre-class, 53 post-class, and 22 1-week post-class surveys were deemed usable. Data findings showed that mean and median improved from pre- to post-class surveys and knowledge was improved by 19.3-73.4% from pre-class to post-class surveys. Community education was shown to help improve the community’s baseline understanding of stroke and improve their comfort with identifying stroke symptoms
