| Research Abstract |
The present study was made to determine the effect of such a learing program as has been devised so that based upon medical consumerism, nurses improve their decision making in collaboration with patients. The subjects were 65 nurses and 130 inpatients of a teaching hospital for 1993 as well as 274-th year students of School of Nursing, Kitasato University for 1994, and were classified into the experimental group and the control group. The above learning program was executed by a member of the study team.
The prior survey revealed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups.
The post survey revealed the nurses-and nursing students-experimental groups showed high scores for attitude toward medical consumerism and significant differences, compared with the control group : younger nurses-experimental group showed high degree of knowledge acquirement. No significant difference was noted between the patient experimental and control groups.
The learning program had an accelerating effect on nurses and nursing students for collaborative decision making. The behavioral change showed by nursing students of the control group was considered as ascribable to their necessary adaptation for a ward changed with traditional roles of nurses. An inhibitory factor in the ineffectiveness on patients was presumed to involve the medical information opening system. The present study led to not only the development of critical reflective research as a qualitative study approach, but also careful selection of the contents of learning prpgram.
