RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This quasi-experimental research study used two similar nursing units to test the effects of teach back on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores. METHOD: A pretest-posttest design tested 24 nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about teach back. Education specialists provided a 1-hour teaching session on teach back to all nurses in the intervention unit. RESULTS: A significant improvement in knowledge scores in the pretest-posttest was found using paired t tests (p = .002). Qualitative analysis of nurses' comments demonstrated strong support for teach back in the post-test. The HCAHPS scores were not significantly improved in the intervention unit when compared with the control unit. CONCLUSION: More research needs to be conducted to determine the effectiveness of teach back on HCAHPS scores. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(1):47-52.

The mock trial, which is an educational tool used in many different professions, is a scripted form of debate that teaches the critical thinking process. Using the mock trial approach, two nurse educators at one medical center taught nursing staff and students the major elements of evidence-based practice. The verdict to be decided in the trial was whether family-witnessed resuscitation should be used in practice. This article outlines the steps taken to carry out this endeavor. Nursing faculty can use this mock trial approach to teach a variety of concepts in nursing education.
