abstract="BACKGROUND: Human trafficking is a global, public health concern that can be addressed by nurses. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effect of an educational intervention on nurses' self-reported knowledge and beliefs regarding human trafficking. <br><br>METHOD: A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design was used to determine whether the implementation of an educational intervention had a positive impact on nurses' self-reported knowledge and beliefs regarding human trafficking. Researchers developed a survey instrument to evaluate attainment of outcomes. <br><br>RESULTS: The survey instrument was found to be highly reliable on both pretest (α =.90) and posttest (α =.81). The paired sample t-test results showed a significant change (p <.001) in nurses' perceived knowledge and beliefs from pretest to posttest for 17 of 19 survey items. <br><br>CONCLUSION: An educational conference is an effective intervention that can positively affect nurses' perceptions of knowledge and beliefs regarding human trafficking.
