EDUCATION OF NURSES: CROSS-SECTIONAL FRAMEWORK INTEGRATING A
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND THE MUNICIPALITY FOCUSING ON CHRONIC LEG
ULCER
Kirsten Gabriel 1
1 Dept. of Dermatology, Aarhus University Hospital (Aarhus, Denmark).
Aim: To elucidate challenges observed during undergraduate education of student
nurses involving a university hospital and its surrounding municipality. A pilot study is
carried out to determine if a framework can be established across sectors to evaluate if
a student nurse can be associated to the treatment course of a patient (in stead of a
particular department). In addition, clinical modules are tested to determine if student
nurses can gain sufficient knowledge and competence by following clinical courses of
patients.
Method: Evaluation of cross-sectional educational modules for student nurses including
a patient-focussed cross-sectional program involving leg ulcer patients. The program
should cope with: national changes in the health care system, a demand of evidence
based and standardized treatment, high quality of treatment, fewer in-patients, more
complex multimorbid patients, increased age of the population, decrease in financial
resources, telemedical solutions and finally high degree of sub-specialization.
Results: Preliminar results based on a pilot program including 2 student nurses indicate
that this new concept can be used in educating nurses and provide the required skills
and level of competence. Feed back from the student nurses were positive.
Conclusions: Our preliminary experience shows that undergraduate education of
nurses can be performed within the framework of the newly established educational
program. However, more experience needs to be gathered in order to make final
conclusions about the program.

The effectiveness of 3D Virtual Scenario Malignant Fungating
Wounds Management Multimedia Program on Care Behavioral in
Oncology Nurses
Shu-Fen Lo 1

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of 3D Virtual scenario malignant
fungating wounds(MFW) management multimedia program on care behavioral in nurses
in Taiwan.
Methods: A randomized experimental study design was developed and implemented.
Subjects were recruited from a 1,000-bed academically based medical center with a
oncology ward for MFW care specialist and nurses in Taiwan. A total of 85 nurses were
randomly assigned to MLEP (n=43) or CESP (n=42) nursing care with a follow-up of one
week. Outcome variables measures were knowledge of MFW care (KC), attitude of care
(AC), and behavior of care (BC).
Results: The findings of this study indicated that patients who received multimedia
learning education program (MLEP) significantly improved in overall KC, AC and BC
compared with conventional education service program (CESP).
Conclusions/Discussion: This controlled trial provides preliminary evidence that twoweek
multimedia learning education programs during post operation provides
quantifiable of MFW care benefits. Nurses can effectively deliver MFW self care
information through this intervention. Further research is needed to test the long-term
effectiveness.
