ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: To meet the health care challenges and increasing population health demands of today and the future, the Missouri Center for Nursing developed the Culture of Health Initiative Project (CHIP). METHOD: Phase one surveys examined 33 nurse leaders' responses to the population health knowledge and training needs of nurses in their organizations. In phase two, 71 nurse leaders' and practicing nurses' responses from the Population Health Nursing Skills Survey provided insight into the education needs of Missouri nurses. RESULTS: Findings identified a lack of available education and resources related to nursing, limited knowledge of concepts among nursing leaders, and a need for flexibility in the format and content to educate nurses in all types of nursing practice. CONCLUSION: Professional development practitioners must collaborate with nurses and nurse leaders, in all settings, to meet the learning needs necessary for Culture of Health competence.
