Reinforcing Statistical Literacy in Graduate Nursing Courses

Le résumé fourni par la source

BACKGROUND: Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) learn statistical literacy skills to read and interpret research relevant to evidence-based practice. Faculty desired a resource for students to review, reinforce, and retain statistical competencies. PROBLEM: Faculty in courses that used assessments requiring statistical competence found it necessary to review statistical content because students were not retaining concepts taught earlier. APPROACH: This project used cognitive load theory to create a modular LibGuide along with self-assessments and low-stakes quizzes, enhancing statistical literacy while optimizing learning efficiency and minimizing cognitive overload. OUTCOMES: The LibGuide was viewed 3,198 times in 2 years. Views were highest the first month of each academic term. The majority of views came from the course where the LibGuide was embedded. CONCLUSIONS: Embedding a review resource to assist students with their cognitive processing and retention of statistical concepts is recommended in APRN courses requiring statistical literacy skills.
