Purpose: The purpose of this educational project was to improve nurse collaborative goal-setting skills. Methods: A pre- and postevaluation of an educational intervention was accomplished by patient interviews and observation for adherence to obtaining patient daily goals. Results: Results of nurse adherence in writing SMART collaborative goal setting increased from 11% preeducation to 63% posteducation. Patients' perceptions of feeling well informed by their nurses and physicians increased from 57% preeducation to 91% posteducation. Conclusion: Nurses continued to need reminding to collaborate with their patients, but their goal writing skills greatly improved.
