ForwardTeaching and Learning Home Care: Guided Participation for Healthcare Clinicians and Family Caregivers
Overview
This online asynchronous course provides practicing nurses with evidence-based information on the use of Guided with family caregivers. Guided Participation is a proven process of teaching and learning in which an experienced guide works alongside a learner as they work to gain competence in a skill.
The goal of Guided Participation is “To help nurses support parents (or other caregivers) to learn what is necessary for them to know in order to protect children as much as possible from adverse consequences of illness and injury.” (Pridham et. al., 2018)
Statement of Need and Purpose
More children with complex and chronic health needs who require highly skilled care are living in the home setting. Caregivers need to be confident and competent in their ability to provide high level care to their children. Nurses, particularly those who work in acute care environments, must be skilled in transferring knowledge to family caregivers who will have complex care responsibilities while caring for their child in their home and community.
However, nurses may have limited knowledge of how families function, environmental and cultural factors affecting them, and what works for them at home. Lack of knowledge reduces the nurse's ability to effectively adapt the guidance and education they provide to the realities of home life. Guided participation is a proven process of teaching and learning in which an experienced guide, in this case, the nurse, works alongside a learner as they gain competence in a skill. The process of Guided Participation is unique in its approach to shared understanding, through jointly making connections, anticipating, and problem solving between nurses and family caregivers.
