About this Content
Aims
To reskill and upskill 350 ENs in Yishun Health effectively and efficiently to practice fully in accordance with SNB’s 2023 guideline by early 2026.
Background
Workplace learning has shifted from educator-led to self-directed eLearning, granting employees autonomy over their learning. However, employees often make ineffective use of the autonomy they are given over their learning.
Methods
The 3As approach in the self-directed Reskilling Programme aims to address the gap by fostering intrinsic motivation to improve self-directed eLearning outcomes. The rationale of the 3As approach (Activate, Augment, and Advance self-regulation) is to influence self-regulatory mechanisms that support self-regulated learning in contextualized clinical settings.
Results
254 (73.2%) of ENs have completed all 8 eLearn modules, of which, 180 (51.8%) have completed clinical skills assessment for all 8 modules. Total 4652 eLearn modules training hours have been completed by ENs. 180 ENs have completed clinical skills assessment under the supervision and assessment of SSNs & above.
Conclusion
ENs with uplifted competencies are better equipped to provide better quality and safer patient care. The 3As approach design of the programme allows ENs to complete one module in 2 months to allow self-regulation in self-directed learning and work-life balance.
Lessons Learnt
ENs expressed increased level of confidence and competence, & sense of usefulness. RNs expressed their gratitude that ENs are able to share more workload, increased knowledge and competence as they are involved in the supervision and assessment of ENs.
Additional Information
With the rapid advancement of technologies used in healthcare and education, the landscape of healthcare needs & expectations evolve fast. Efficiently & effectively reskilling and upskilling nursing workforce becomes pertinent to keep nurses’ skills and knowledge relevant and updated.
