Abstract
Background: This study aimed to define the efficacy of a nursing care educational workshop
on nurses’ knowledge and attitude until 3 months after holding the workshop in psychiatric
wards of educational hospitals in Isfahan. Materials and Methods: This is a quasi‑experimental
study. The study population comprised all nurses working in psychiatric wards of Nour and
Farabi hospitals in Isfahan in 2012. An educational workshop was held through educational
sessions in the form of lectures and group discussion in the two above‑mentioned hospitals.
Nurses’ level of knowledge and attitude were investigated by a researcher‑made questionnaire
before, immediately after, and 3 months after intervention. Data were analyzed by descriptive
statistical tests of repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni. Results: A significant increase
was observed in mean scores of nurses’ knowledge immediately after and 3 months after
education compared to before education. Nurses’ knowledge mean scores increased from
59.2 ± 14.8 before education to 88.6 ± 8.4 immediately after and to 71 ± 9.8 3 months
after (P ≤ 0.016). There was no significant difference in mean scores of nurses’ attitude in
the three above‑mentioned time points. Conclusion: Educational sessions notably affected
the promotion of nurses’ knowledge. With regard to nurses’ satisfaction with the workshop
that was held, designing and organizing educational workshops based on constant needs
assessment is suggested for promotion of nursing cares.
