Quality improvement project enhances nursing knowledge and confidence in patient care through remote learning in urology.
Background: This quality improvement project involved developing an introduction to urology course for nurses, culminating in the creation of a supplementary video library. Method: Conducted in a tertiary urology department, the biweekly course covered key topics from the American Urological Association curriculum. Delivered by department residents, the sessions were recorded for a complimentary video library. Participants completed satisfaction surveys, and newly hired staff were assessed for educational needs. Results: A total of 26 participants attended eight lectures (16 study hours). Of the 22 respondents, 86.3% reported increased knowledge, 72.7% were more confident in providing patient care, and 45.4% changed their clinical practices. Further, 95.5% deemed the course essential, and 90.1% recommended refresher sessions every 1 to 2 years. In addition, 90.1% of the participants expressed satisfaction with the format after completion, and 66% of newly hired nurses used the video library. Conclusion: The remote learning format proved effective and may support broader adoption across additional urology departments.
