Background: The American Association of Colleges of Nursing opined that education has a significant relationship on the knowledge and skills necessary for nurse-clinicians. Nursing knowledge and skills are key prerequisite for sustaining better patient outcome which they belief that the higher the level of education, the better the knowledge acquired and better patient outcome. How true is this assumption? This is a major question that needs an answer. Aim: To find out if there is relationship between nurse level of education and patient outcome. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was adopted with a sample size of two hundred and sixty five (265) respondents were drawn using probability sampling technique. The quantitative data was collected through standardized questionnaires and analysed using descriptive and chi-square statistics to test the hypothesis. Results: The study found that Nurses with higher education demonstrated better patient outcome. It also shows that there is a relationship between level of education among nurses and patient outcome with the p-value = 0.06 at 0.05 level of significant. Conclusions: Based on the above findings, this study recommends that hospital management should put up a programs like study leave with pay, sponsorship and making higher degree a criteria for promotion to motivate and encourage nurses to advance education in Nursing. This will increase their critical thinking ability and improve their interpersonal skills, required for better nursing care management of patients [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
