2023 № 12 On the Formation of Innovative lean Competence of nursing staff providing assistance to the population in the PSMP System.
Introduction. The article proposes and proves the effectiveness of a model for the formation of innovative lean competencies among nursing staff operating in an optimized healthcare environment.
Goal: to determine the effectiveness of the implementation within the framework of postgraduate training of an educational module on the formation of innovative lean competence in the professional activities of practicing nursing specialists.
Methods. The study was conducted according to a specially developed questionnaire in two stages: the first – in 2019 (before the implementation of the educational module); the second – in 2022 (evaluation of the implementation results). The analysis of the results provided for the calculation of relative values (P) and their errors (± m). The same indicators were compared in dynamics, the Student’s coefficient (t) was used to assess the reliability of the differences. The differences were considered statistically significant at p<0,05. Microsoft Office Excel and Statistica 5,0 programs were used to create an electronic database and calculate indicators.
Results. At the first stage, a high readiness of the majority of nurses for innovation was revealed, but a number of limitations for innovation were recorded: low level of computer skills, lack of necessary competencies for implementing innovations, lack of leadership qualities, search for personal gain. A strong inverse correlation was found between age and the desire to introduce innovations. The results of the second stage showed a 1,4-fold increase in the share of nursing staff who want to introduce innovations in their workplace; a 1,8-fold decrease in the proportion of people who are wary of changes in their professional activities; reducing the time spent on processing
medical documentation and increasing the amount of time allocated to working with patients. The proportion of nursing specialists using an electronic document management system in their professional activities has also increased – from 1,6% to 41,6%.
Conclusion. The effectiveness of the proposed educational module for the formation of innovative lean competence in the professional activities of nurses providing assistance to the population in the primary health care system is confirmed by the achieved positive results of its testing in healthcare institutions. -
