Nurses' attitudes toward patient education--yesterday and today.
This study examines nurses' attitudes toward patient education. The original study completed in 1986 established a data base and concluded that nurses were generally positive about their patient education role, but were not always clear on certain aspects of the role. Since 1986, there have been replication studies. This present investigation reviews the results of these replication studies and discusses a general consensus of findings.
