Effectiveness of a standard clinical training program in new graduate nurses' competencies in Vietnam: A quasi-experimental longitudinal study with a difference-in-differences design.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to estimate the effectiveness of a standard clinical training program for new graduate nurses in Vietnam.

Methods

A quasi-experimental longitudinal study with a difference-in-differences design was conducted. A total of 280 new graduate nurses completed a self-administered questionnaire. The intervention group consisted of 206 respondents (those having participated in standard clinical training) and the control group (those that did not receive training) of 74. Differences in mean increases in competency scores between the intervention and control groups were estimated. The effect size of the intervention was estimated by calculating Cohen's d. A generalized linear model was employed to identify the factors associated with mean increases.
