Abstract

Students in the last semester of the Professional Nurse Program were introduced and trained Problem Solving for Better Health Nursing (PSBHN), an approach to identify and solve nursing problems. Students implemented that approach in 4 units of the teaching hospital and produced seven projects. The projects covered teaching hand hygiene, discharge planning, a trial of using an android application to collecting patient/family complaints, increasing nursing awareness of patient safety, a program to reduce pediatric patients anxiety. PSBHN approach was useful in increasing students performance as an agent of change. The lessons learned and plans for continued use of PSBHN are discussed.
