TL;DRAbstract

A pre/posttreatment design was used to assess the impact of a statewide continuing education program on the case management knowledge and skills level of nurse participants. To accomplish this task, three instruments were developed and utilized: a demographic questionnaire, the pre- and postcognitive assessments for each learning module, and the Competency Behaviors of the Case Managers Inventory (CBCMI). Results indicated a significant difference (p less than .0001) in knowledge and perceived performance for the 57 subjects who participated in this study. These findings suggested that continuing education does impact the professional performance and practice of nursing.
