Abstract
A program evaluation is a systematic method for collecting, analyzing, and using information to answer questions about projects, policies and programs, particularly about their effectiveness and efficiency. The goal is to improve programs. A program evaluation is a part of all training programs. A Charge Nurse Training Program was conducted in the NICU of Security Forces Hospital as it was evident that the charge nurse role needed to be supported better with clear expectations and a standardized professional development training. The sample for the study was forty-two registered nurses who underwent the adapted evidence-based ADDIE model training program. The simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample. Only registered nurse 1’s were included in the study and exclusion criteria were those registered nurse 1’s who had less than one year of experience in NICU. Structured teaching modules and practical sections were conducted for all the sample. Data was collected using a pre-test followed by a post-test of each module to assess the knowledge level of the samples, a Likert scale to assess the confidence level, an observation (practice) checklist to assess the skills level and a final evaluation through surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The program evaluation showed that, the adapted ADDIE model of a Charge Nurse Training Program was effective and that it boosted staff confidence, created a healthy working environment and increased the knowledge, skills of the nursing staff in order for them to perform their core responsibilities.
