Changing behaviors. Nurse educators and clinical nurse specialists design a discharge planning program. 1995

S Jones, and V B Clark, and A Merker, and D Palau

In this article, the authors describe a discharge planning program developed for geriatric and maternal-child nurses at Mount Sinai Medical Center. King's theory of goal attainment was used in the program design and teach strategies were selected that matched behavioral objectives in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domain. Evaluation methods include participants' pre- and post-surveys regarding their comfort in implementing discharge planning and concurrent review of their documentation 1 month after the program. After participating in the program, staff nurses displayed a change in behavior in terms of increased documentation relating to discharge planning.
